THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND
 

Arthritis hits no less but 50 million adult U.S. citizens and 300,000 children.
 
While there are in fact many different types of arthritis, in most cases it is osteoarthritis, an ailment tearing down the bolstering between the joints, with pain, stiffness and swelling of the joints.
 
Another frequent type is rheumatoid arthritis (RA) when the immune system attacks your joints by mistake.

Vitamin D
 

When we talk about deficiencies in terms of nutrients, vitamin D plays a special role, as any deficiency of this vitamin not only weakens our immune system in general, but more or less any part of our body – the cartilage of our joints being no exception.
 
Especially rheumatoid arthritis is related to vitamin D deficiency and therefore should be balanced out. According to research at, inter alia, Zhejang University in Hangzhou, China.

Based on more than 600 study participants to be administered 400 mg of chondroitin sulfate and 500 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride each 3 times a day for half a year to relieve pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints.
 
Yes, both CS and GH – can be bought on the market.
