What sends people looking for products to ease joint pain and swelling?

Activity. A youthful athlete works all weekend laying bricks in his back yard, then goes to the gym and lifts weights. He feels stiff and sore the next morning. He seeks recovery from aches and pains caused by demands placed on his musculoskeletal system.

Age. Whatever the active lifestyle you pursue—hiking, running, walking or dancing, there may come a point where you feel the beginning symptoms of daily joint stiffness, and a decline in your natural resilience. These symptoms are associated with the onset of arthrosis or osteoarthritis.

Health. Finally, the wear and tear of normal active living may result in osteoarthritis or arthrosis in the joints surrounded by large muscles. Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints that requires consistent, daily management.

It is estimated that 80% of the population will have radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis by age 65, of which 60% will be symptomatic1. Contrary to rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease, osteoarthritis is degenerative.
