What is chondroitin? 
Why Glucosamine and Chondroitin? Glucosamine is thought to be valuable to joints because it is a component of the cartilage matrix glycosaminoglycans that serve the joints by providing cushioning. Glusoamine is also found in the synovial fluid, which lubricates and cushions joints during movement and is precursors in the generation of proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are the filler material between cells and are thought to be critical in joint health because it allows cartilage to collect and retain water, enabling the formation of an elastic layer. Chondroitin promotes cartilage tissue generation and attracts fluid into the cartilage, making it more shock absorbent. What about Clinical Trials? 
Recently in the New England Journal of Medicine a multiple area, double blind, placebo and pharmaceutical drug controlled study of glucosamine and chondroitin was published. There findings showed that patients with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis taking a mixture of 500 mg of glucosamine plus 400 mg of chondroitin three times a day had a significantly (24.9%) better result than patients taking placebo. It was also found that taking glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate or a pharmaceutical alone were 11.4%, 7.1%, and 15,1% better than placebo, respectively. These results were not considered statistically significant even for the pharmaceutical drug. The authors of this article state that weakness in there paper are the relatively high positive outcome for patients taking placebo as well as the inclusion of individuals with mild pain could have limited there ability to detect benefits. However, even with these weaknesses it is interesting to note that in all cases there was an increased percent of patiets seeing a benefit from taking glucosamine, chondroitin or a combination.We recommend that you take your glucosamine with American Premium Blends Tart Cherry Concentrate or with American Premium Blends Cherry Harvest. *FDA Warning:"These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
