The findings of a landmark trial published in The Lancet, provide solid scientific evidence that Joint Connection relieves the symptoms of osteoarthritis and also halts or slows progression of the disease.

By comparing a series of knee X-rays among patients who consumed Glucosamine or a placebo, the breakthrough study demonstrated that Glucosamine can favourably modify joint structure.

Several earlier short-term studies showed that Glucosamine relieved the symptoms of osteoarthritis, but each called for long-term trials to confirm the results. The rigorously conducted study, reported in The Lancet, answered this call.

The three-year study established the long-term benefit and safety of Glucosamine in treating osteoarthritis.

"The impact of this major scientific research is staggering. Osteo- arthritis is a major health problem for approximately 20 million people in the United States and the cost of arthritis to our economy exceeds one billion dollars," said John Cordaro, President of the Council for Responsible Nutrition.

He said, "Further, osteoarthritis is the most common reason for total hip and total knee replacement. With these facts in mind, it is clear that these research results are amazingly significant."

"Once again, science has demonstrated the need for, and the benefits and safety of dietary supplements," Cordaro noted.
