Arthritis is a source of discomfort and pain in many people. There are different forms of this disease with different symptoms and prognosis. However, osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis affects 70-80% of the population over the age 50.
The most common symptoms are the presence of morning stiffness, popping joints and it is associated with varying degrees of pain and discomfort. Osteoarthritis is commonly treated by Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Drugs like any other chemicals usually have unpleasant and very harmful side effects such as increased stomach acid production and ultimately formation of a stomach ulcer in elderly and other susceptible individuals.
Arthritis Support contains adequate amounts of the beneficial nutrients that work as co-enzymes which makes it a vital and proven defense mechanism in controlling unpleasant symptoms of arthritis and in some cases reversing the collagen damage in joints.

- Glucosamine, a compound synthesized by the chondrocytes and its production is impaired in osteoarthritis.
- Chondroitin sulfate, an important and very vital component of cartilage matrix.
- Nettle leaf, an herb that has anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF) properties. Tumor necrosis factor alpha is an inflammatory cytokine and is thought to be partly responsible for the inflammation in the joints.
- Ginger, a natural compound that has important anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Borage Seed Oil contains large amounts of GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid has anti-inflammatory properties.
