Glucosamine and Osteoarthritis July 30, 2008

Osteoarthritis, which afflicts more than 20 million North Americans, begins with the breakdown of joint cartilage, the spongy material that acts as a cushion where bone meets joint.

Without this cushion, bones rub together, causing pain and loss of movement. Eventually, the joint loses its alignment and the ends of the bones thicken and form spurs, which are extremely painful.

Scientists have recently discovered that the cause of osteoarthritis is insufficient cartilage production, which meansthat if cartilage production could be stimulated, arthritis could be prevented—or even reversed—in some patients. The glucosamine in Watkins Linimaxstimulates the production of cartilage and inhibits its breakdown, resulting in:

• less joint discomfort and swelling*

• greater movement and joint flexibility*

• strong, healthy, well-lubricated joints for

optimum function throughout life*

What is the difference between glucosamine hydrochloride and glucosamine sulfate?

Glucosamine hydrochloride, found in Watkins Linimax™, is 99% pure, whereas glucosamine sulfate, found in some other supplements, is only 74% pure because it must be stabilized by a salt. You would need 2608 mg
of glucosamine sulfate to do the same work as 1500 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride. With
glucosamine hydrochloride, you get greater purity and benefits with less dosage.

It’s been 2 months now since I got my dentures. I can finally eat pretty much like a normal person.

I find steak etc pretty easy, but sub sandwiches are still an adventure.

Even my sense of taste is better now.
