Are you getting enough vitamin D
Probably not. According to recent studies, many of us are vitamin D deficient and we may not even be aware of it.

Many scientists believe that as much as 60 percent of the northern hemisphere may be vitamin D deficient due to lack of sunshine. ...more

Strengthen your body instead of breaking it down
Both glucosamine and chondroitin are produced naturally by the human body. We start developing osteoarthritis when the body can no longer produce these substances in sufficient quantities, either because of aging or due to too much tearing of the joints. Scientific studies have revealed that not only do glucosamine and chondroitin treat the symptoms of pain but also treat the cause of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine and chondroitin rebuild joints, thicken the cartilage and even treat chronic inflammation. Unfortunately, some of the most popular osteoarthritis drugs have, in scientific studies, been shown to further break down the cartilage, thereby worsening the osteoarthritis in the long run. ...more
