An important study recently released by The 2009 World Congress of Osteoarthritis Research Society International showed that knee pain caused by synovitis* was alleviated faster and more effectively when treated with the combined ingredients found in OneLifeUSA’s Joint Flex formula.

This study showed that Chondroitin sulfate when combined with glucosamine sulfate resulted in quicker decreases of synovitis, in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, as compared with acetaminophen treatment. Perhaps more importantly, a positive correlation was made between the reduction of synovitis and the reduction of knee pain. There was a faster and more significant decline in knee pain with the chondroitin and glucosamine combination than there was with the acetaminophen.

Learning how to keep our joints in good shape becomes more important as we age. Staying physically active as we get older is a major contributing factor in determining the quality and length of our life. Maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise and eating a well balanced diet are all important factors in regards to joint health. Science has also shown that consuming specific nutrients can have positive benefits on our joints. The two most noted of these nutrients are glucosamine and chondrotin.

*Synovitis is the term for inflammation of a synovial (joint-lining) membrane. It is usually painful, particularly when the joint is moved.
