Osteoarthritis (QA) is characterized by joint pain and stiffness and restricted movement which could cause a decline in the function of the joint.^{4a, 5g} Regular physical activity is very important for overall health, and even more so for those who suffer from osteoarthritis.^{4b, 5a, 5d} But, it is not just age and weight that could cause joint damage, participation in some sports can injure joints through single or repeated impact, or weight applied by twisting, and these injuries can lead to post-traumatic osteoarthritis.^{4a, 5h}

Regular exercise such as stationary bicycling, rowing, swimming, golf, jogging or racquet sports do not increase the risk for development of osteoarthritis in people with normal muscle strength and normal joints.^{5q 5}

But,different types of exercise place distinct strain on certain joints. While even normal joint use may cause joint injury and degeneration for persons with abnormal or misaligned joints.^{5q, 5s}

Joints have a limited capacity to repair itself after injury.^{5f, 8a} Cartilage itself is not supplied by blood vessels or nerves; therefore, damage to cartilage does not cause direct pain.  Physical examination and x-rays also may not show the damage and these instances of joint dam age may go unnoticed.^{5i, 5m} This undetected injury may be one of the risk factors for developing post traumatic osteoarthritis associated with participation in sports that expose joints to high levels of impact and weight applied by twisting.⁵ⁿ Post traumatic osteoarthritis progresses over years to destroy the joint, and could cause severe pain, loss of mobility, and deformity.^5c

MSM is either produced by marine and plants or can be synthetically produced with no difference in structure or safety of the molecule.^6a-d MSM can penetrate membranes and move though the body easily and accumulate over time when taken regularly.^{6e, 6f 6g, 6h, 6i, 6k} 

MSM has the following benefits:
• Anti-inflammatory action
• Antioxidant action
• Helps to protect cartilage
• Helps to improve range and motion of joint
• Reduces muscle soreness after exercise

Glucosamine is formed in the human body from glucose and is most abundant in connective tissue and cartilage (joints). Glucosamine can also be extracted from the skeletons of crabs, prawns, and lobsters, as well as from mushrooms. Glucosamine is needed by the body to produce the various components of cartilage and the synovial fluid (fluid in the joint space)^8d,8e

Chondroitin sulfate is one of the natural components of the joint and is responsible for retaining water in the cartilage and also plays a part in the forming of new cartilage. It can be obtained from the cartilage of cows, pigs, birds and fish for supplementation. ^{8g, 8h, 8j} The effect of chondroitin supplementation can be seen within 2-3 weeks, and remain active for up to a few months.⁸ⁱ

Chondroitin helps to:

• Relieve pain and inflammation,
• Improve function and mobility and maintain the joint structure^8i,8l

When supplementation of chondroitin was studied, no increased risk for side effects were noted, and patients using chondroitin had less side effects that the patients using no treatment (placebo). ^{8c, 8k}
