But drugs like this carry the risk of unwanted side-effects, which can range from stomach ulcers, liver problems, heart disease, etc. The well-publicised withdrawal of drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex from the pharmaceutical market prove that. And studies have repeatedly shown that long-term use of NSAIDS can in fact exacerbate the degenerative process, rather than slow it down.



So millions of people want a viable alternative to pharmaceutical drugs, that also show promise of having an effect on the symptoms of osteoarthritis, but without the possible side-effects.

Recent clinical studies have found some possible alternatives. Glucosamine Sulphate has been shown to help maintain and restore cartilage tissue. Especially when taken in conjunction with Chondroitin Sulphate, MSM and Vitamin C.

The good news is that these are all natural substances that can help maintain the structure and health of cartilage. They also seem to keep the cartilage well-hydrated, which increases its cushioning effect. And with none of the potential side-effects of drugs.

Although there are a number of supplements on the market that contain Glucosamine Sulphate, Chondroitin Sulphate and/or MSM, it's best to find a product that has been formulated to give you the most beneficial amount of each, and in the correct proportion to each other. The optimum dosage is: Glucosamine Sulphate (1500mg); Chondroitin Sulphate (1200mg); MSM (750mg); Vitamin C (250mg) per 120ml (4oz) serving.

The product I highly recommend (and use personally for my knees and my shoulder) is Forever Freedom. It has the perfect combination of all the ingredients you need, plus it's has the unique twist of being blended into an aloe vera drink. So it's easy to take, it gets to work immediately, and you get all the advantages and benefits of drinking pure aloe vera.

So for a practical and nutritious way to defend against the signs of joint wear and tear, give Forever Freedom a try. You'll be glad you did.
