Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino-monosaccharide which has been shown to slow the progression of arthritis by helping to keep joint cartilage healthy. No other therapy has been able to achieve this. Glucosamine is often taken as a dietary supplement but digesting it to circulate around the whole body is an inefficient process. Injecting Glucosamine directly into joints has proven to be more effective but daily injections would be required. In this cream, Emu Oil is used to transport the Glucosamine deep into the joints. Both Emu Oil & Glucosamine have anti-inflammatory properties. This combination reduces pain & inflammation while rebuilding & maintaining healthier joints. No serious side effects have been associated with long-term use of Glucosamine. Emu Oil & Glucosamine cream may provide rapid relief from the pain of arthritis but is most effective when used consistently over longer periods of time (Typically 6-8 weeks). Emu Oil Well have made the cream as natural as possible, as they do with all their products. It contains no Parabens or other harsh petrochemicals & is free from artifical fragrances or colours.
