A Recent Study Has Revealed That Close To 10 Million People In The UK Alone Suffer From Osteoarthritis.

I can provide first hand testimonial to the immense effectiveness and vast benefits-physically, emotionally and psychologically-of joint supplement.

During the middle of 2004, my right knee started aching and over the time, became increasingly swollen. the swelling and intense pain made it difficult for me to walk up and down the stairs without support.

Exercising and proper diet is essential to reducing joint pain but even these have little effect once the situation has aggravated. Luckily for man, science keeps coming up with new inventions and one of it many creations include joint supplements.

Of all the joint supplements on the market Glucosamine is probably the one that is most researched. Its primary function is to help keep the horse's joints and cartilage lubricated and aid in the proper formation of the joint tissue. As the equine ages, or as its body is subjected to consistent rigorous riding, it may not produce the sufficient amounts of Glucosamine on its own, which can result in cartilage that loses its shock absorption ability within the horse's joints.

The joints may then become stiff and painful. This can lead to limited range of motion and in severe cases lameness and even deformation.

Furthermore, joint supplements containing Omega 3 oils have proven to give arthritis patients a new lease of life. Research is also yielding new joint care products such as the Avocado and Soybean unsaponifiables which can be used to treat specific problems such as knee and hip pain. But investigations continue to remain in the nascent stages and further studies will be required to know more about their potential.

After consulting my specialist, based on x-ray findings, he confirmed that my joints were functional and had made a full recovery without the surgery. I happily canceled my surgery appointment and was grateful I went through with taking joint supplement.

Since then, I am able to run, hike and even jog hills with my children. I play tennis, basketball, badminton and I can move and carry objects over 50 pounds without difficulty. I don't have to carry my daughter anymore, but I am glad being able to be there when she needs me.

Proper supplement care and a balanced nutritional diet will keep both you and your horse enjoying your rides for many years to come.
