Maturing Americans interested in maintaining a vibrant, healthy life but who experience age- and wear-related joint discomfort or who have history of joint health problems in their family just might find Hydra Joint the ideal solution. So whether you're an avid runner, golfer, fisherman, gardener, bicyclist, tennis player, dog walker or someone who doesn't want to be held back by joint discomfort, get Hydra Joint and get moving. Should anyone NOT take Hydra Joint? Because glucosamine is naturally produced by the human body, very few people have negative reactions to it. But if you're concerned please consult your physician before taking Hydra Joint. If you have allergies to shellfish, be sure to use new Hydra Joint, which features a breakthrough non-shellfish formula in our distinctive contour bottle with the orange splash (shown at the left of this page). For how long should I take Hydra Joint? Hydra Joint is not about instant improvement in joint health and more about changing the way you live and giving your joints a regular "drink" of the natural substances it produces for good joint health. Hydra Joint is not a quick fix; it's a supplement you can safely take on an ongoing basis. Because our joints can deteriorate over time, you can and should integrate Hydra Joint into your daily routine like you would with healthy food or other nutritional supplements. How much Hydra Joint do I need to take? One dose a day. Simply use our easy pour bottle top to measure a tablespoon of Hydra Joint and mix it with 4-6 oz. of juice or water. What is Glucosamine? Glucosamine is an amino sugar naturally produced by the body. It helps produce some of the molecules that form the cartilage, the cushioning substance between your joints. The body's ability to produce Glucosamine seems to diminish over time, which is why a Glucosamine supplement can be helpful in maintaining and restoring joint health. What does Chondroitin do? Chondroitin helps give the cartilage elasticity and helps keep it nourished and strong. It also helps protect the cartilage. Chondroitin is another substance naturally found in the body and, like Glucosamine, the body often produces less as it ages. Is a Glucosamine supplement better than NSAIDs? NSAIDs, otherwise known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, have traditionally been used to treat arthritis and osteoarthritis. These drugs treat the painful symptoms of joint deterioration and help relieve the pain, but they do not treat the cause for the pain or help improve joint health. As joint health worsens, patients typically need to take higher and higher doses of their prescribed NSAIDs to control the pain. NSAIDs also tend to dry the joint membranes which can interfere with the joint receiving the nutrients it needs to keep healthy. Can Hydra Joint cure my arthritis? Unfortunately, there is no known cure for arthritis. However, Hydra Joint can help improve your joint health, which may help you live better with arthritis. How does Hydra Joint taste? Hydra Joint makes another breakthrough: it actually tastes great. Go ahead. Compare it to other glucosamine and chondroitin supplements - especially liquids - and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Hydra Joint with glucosamine and chondroitin features a delightful citrus taste while Hydra Joint with calcium has a refreshing raspberry flavor. Where can I buy Hydra Joint?
