People supplementing with glucosamine chrondroitin for joint health commonly ask why such large amounts are required.  Those of us who enjoy good health generally produce enough of these substances to support the body’s cartilage-building effort.  However, several consequences of life increase the rate we draw on our natural supply such as, aging, arthritis, intense exercise and injury.

For optimal results, participants in clinical trials are given 1,500 mg of the supplement daily.  Therefore, experts recommend 1,500 mg of glucosamine chrondroitin to accommodate supply vs demand.  Upping dosage amounts will not lead to side-effects or toxicity, like one expects from conventional medications.

Get Rid Of It


Are you taking a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for joint pain and inflammation?  How would you like to get rid of it?  It’s no secret NSAIDs have dreadful side effects.  Before there were alternatives available, we had to suffer NSAIDs consequences or live with swollen, painful joints.

Today, we’re fortunate that natural therapies are in the limelight after finally grabbing scientific attention.  Studies are surfacing almost daily about krill oil and the heart, the brain, the skin, as well as the joints.  With its omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids, its phospholipids and astaxanthin, krill oil could be paving the way to a future where arthritic diseases are a dim memory!

Scientists Epiphany


It’s a sunshine day when scientists admit an epiphany where natural supplements are concerned.  Yet, scientists are enthralled about discovering the miraculous abilities of coenzyme Q10 to thwart certain cancers.  Holistic practitioners have long been aware that CO Q10, a.k.a. ubiquinone, is omnipresent, or exists everywhere at once. Ubiquinone exists in every cell and system of all living things.

In the field of oncology, here are potential qualities of coenzyme Q10: defends against melanoma; prevention of prostate cancer; capability for weakening and/or regression of breast cancer cells. The supplement significantly reduces side-effects of chemotherapy, such as heart damage. CO Q10 also strengthens the weakened immune systems of cancer patients.

Beautifully Balanced


Considering the rigid stance against natural supplements organized medicine has maintained for centuries, it gives us a warm, squishy feeling to declare, “times-they-are-a-changin'”.  Some of the top orthopedic practitioners are becoming beautifully balanced!  We know this to be true, because a few are recommending glucosamine chrondroitin post-surgery.  Will this be the year of integrative medicine?

They do point out glucosamine chondroitin is not regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration.  In fairness, most note the USDA “tentatively” concurs the supplements, when taken together, “significantly reduce pain in patients with moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis of the knee”.  Shall we take our blessings where we find them?

Feel Better With The Skin You’re In


Who could have dreamed a small sea creature, called a krill, would have such a tremendous impact on aging of the brain, the joints and/or sun-ravished skin?  Are you anxious to get the glow back in your skin?  Are you embarrassed by lines and wrinkles?

Krill oil is a natural substance, which works on a cellular level, to restore deep oxidative damage in so many areas including skin cells.  Studies agree this supplement diminishes over 50% of existing wrinkles!  You’ll be able to feel a smoother skin texture; you’ll feel better with the skin you’re in. You’ll put your best “you” forward.  Whoever said beauty is only skin deep obviously never experienced the marvels of krill oil!
