Glucosamine and Chondroitin - The Limitations

Here's what really annoys me about glucosamine and chondroitin.

I've seen quite a few people now who have been given a joint supplement which only contain these two ingredients.

Now, it's true that glucosamine and chondroitin have been shown to be beneficial for cartilage. But here's the limitation. The only benefit they give is in improving the molecular STRUCTURE of cartilage.

Although this is very important, when it comes to joint pain we must also consider pain relief and anti-inflammatories since often pain and inflammation are present.

Additionally, there are certain compounds which help glucosamine and chondroitin get absorbed and used more effectively by the body. It would make sense to have all of these included in a single joint supplement where possible.

Just something to think about...
