Glucosamine Sulfate combination is a formula that serves to strenghten the structural system. Excessive damage to the joints coupled with the natural aging process, may result in the body having difficulty keeping up with repairs to connective tissue. This damage may be the result of repetitive use of the same tissue, excessive wear because of misalignment, or damage to the blood vessels bringing nutrients to the joints. When the body cannot keep up with repairs, the cartilage and tissues continue to break down producing joint pain and stiffness and even osteoarthritis.
What contributes to this condition?
| Lack of essential nutrients | Poor diet | Refined sugars | Processed foods | Lack of minerals |

Not only did they have less pain, but the studies showed that the connective tissues gained the ability of self healing. When the patients stopped taking these herbs, the relief lasted for six to twelve weeks.
