Osteoarthritis, or 'wear and tear' of the joints, is a degenerative
disease where with age cartilage is damaged at the ends of bones.
It affects joints such as the hips, knees, fingers and spine (low
back and neck). Various supplements have been shown to benefit people
with Osteoarthritis, such as vitamins B3, B5, C and E, calcium &
magnesium, boron, Green Lipped Mussel Extract and Glucosamine.
Glucosamine Sulphate can be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis,
producing a significant improvement in the symptoms of pain, joint
tenderness and swelling. Fish oils containing EPA and DHA (Flax Seed
Oil, Pure Fish Oil, Cod Liver Oil) are a crucial component in the body's
production of prostaglandins (hormone like materials) which possess
anti-inflammatory properties which help alleviate the symptoms of
Osteoarthritis.

Lamberts® Cod Liver Oil 1000mg is one of the strongest available with a total of 284mg omega 3 fatty acids per capsule
including 132mg of EPA and 104mg of DHA which is a lot higher than many of the high potency fish oil products
on the market.

Glucosamine Sulphate is essential for maintaining healthy cartilage, the smooth tissue that lines joints.
There are no edible food sources of glucosamine, so when our bodies fail to manufacture sufficient natural glucosamine,
supplementation is useful to maintain joint mobility.
