Uses of GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+GINGER+CHONDROITIN SULPHATE SODIUM+VITAMIN C
Medicinal Benefits
GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+GINGER+CHONDROITIN SULPHATE SODIUM+VITAMIN C is used to reduce pain and inflammation of the joints. GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+GINGER+CHONDROITIN SULPHATE SODIUM+VITAMIN C contains Glucosamine Sulphate Potassium Chloride, Ginger, Chondroitin Sulphate Sodium and Vitamin C. Glucosamine Sulphate potassium chloride works by contributing to the production of bone-protecting cartilage. It stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycan- a very essential material for cartilage production. In addition, it exerts anti-inflammatory action and slows down cartilage destruction. Ginger helps exert an analgesic effect and relieves pain and swelling. Chondroitin sulphate sodium increases the production of major components of cartilage such as hyaluronic acid and proteoglycans. In addition, it slows down the degradation of cartilage proteins. Vitamin C aids the creation of new collagen fibres, blood vessel development, and healing. Thus, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+GINGER+CHONDROITIN SULPHATE SODIUM+VITAMIN C is responsible for relieving the joints of swelling. By producing cartilage, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE+GINGER+CHONDROITIN SULPHATE SODIUM+VITAMIN C cushions bones and joints and provides pain relief.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Load up on fatty fish, garlic, ginger, broccoli, nuts, berries and green leafy vegetables to promote bone growth and strength.
- Apply a cold or hot compress to the joints for 15-20 minutes on a regular basis to follow heat or cold therapy.
- Keep your meals light and small to avoid any side effects such as gas or abdominal discomfort.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- Doing weight-bearing exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, tennis, or even dance can be very useful in promoting overall bone health. However, do not over-exert yourself if you feel too tired or suffer from severely brittle bones.
- Muscle training activities such as yoga and Pilates can also be very helpful.
- Spend time under the sun (however with proper sunscreen) for quality intake of Vitamin D.
- Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption and stop smoking as these may have a negative effect on bone health. Smokers tend to have lower bone density than non-smokers.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It occurs due to breakdown of cartilage that cushions and protects the bones. The disease progresses gradually and tends to worsen if not treated. Symptoms include joint pain in the hips, lower back, knees and hands. It is commonly seen in post-menopausal women.
Joint pain: Joint pain is a physical discomfort that occurs where two or more bones meet. It refers to the joints' discomfort, pain, stiffness, and soreness. Arthritis is a common cause of joint pain. Other reasons include a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries. Joint pain occurs when the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.
Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a state in which the bones become weak and brittle. It is often brought about by disease and age (menopausal osteoporosis). In osteoporosis, the activity of bone-destroying cells surpasses the activity of bone-forming cells. Most people do not suffer from any symptoms until there’s a fracture and bones literally start to break.
