Arthro-5 alternative to glucosamine in hip wear?

Question:
I’ve done promotions for another brand of glucosamine for some years. That’s how I found out about your information and now see that you even have a better product: Arthro-5. Last week my physiotherapist determined that I will suffer from a worn hip in the near future. I do notice it a little bit now that I take a brisk walk every day.
Am I out of the woods when I take Arthro-5 for the time being? And is 2 capsules a day enough?[arthro-5-links]

Answer:
Arthro-5 is formulated out of five ingredients that are each tested in people with osteoarthritis. Six capsules of Arthro-5 provides the user with the same dosage of the active substances as is used during scientific studies. In these studies the result of each of the individual ingredient for the average test subject is positive. Which means less pain, less stiffness, greater freedom of movement and decrease of the wear. Of course the effects differ per person. With knee osteoarthritis for example, 2 out of 3 people benefit from glucosamine.

Arthro-5 is more effective than the individual components. For Arthro-5, we estimate that 80 to 90% of people will benefit. What is particularly striking is that people who experience a positive effect with glucosamine for example, report a further decrease in symptoms when they switch to Arthro-5.

There are also people who have been using glucosamine for years and sometimes also chondroitin but only one or more joints remain painful. When they switch to Arthro-5 they notice that their ‘untreatable’ joints become less painful. Presumably, that’s thanks to the ingredient ASU. We see the same effect on ‘untreatable’ joints when glucosamine and chondroitin are supplemented by ASU Forte.

You ask whether two capsules is sufficient. Possibly. The results vary, and the dosage as well. We recommend to use 6 capsules to achieve the maximum effect. Perhaps you can start with that dosage to see if your symptoms go away. Later, you can cut back the dosage if needed.
