How to use
Place one Pain Relief Patch on a relatively hair-free part of the body (the inner arm is perfect). After 24 hours replace with a new patch in a slightly different position, to allow the skin to breathe and to help prevent adhesive allergies. (The best method of removal is to peel off whilst showering with warm, soapy water).
Drug Class and Mechanism
Chondroitin Sulphate can reduce the activity of elastase, an enzyme released by white blood cells in inflamed joints, which breaks down elastic fibres and thus reduces the resiliency of cartilage. Preliminary findings indicate that chondroitin may increase joint mobility and slow cartilage loss.
Glucosamine has relieved the symptoms of osteoarthritis more than any other one nutrient. Glucosamine is manufactured by the body and is primarily to help form the cushioning components of joint fluids and surrounding tissues. It thickens synovial fluid, making it more elastic; repairs the cartilage in damaged arthritic joints; and creates more support for joints, including the vertebrae. Besides helping to form the cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and synovial fluid in the joint, it also plays a role in the formation of nails, skin, eyes, bones, and heart valves. And, finally, it's involved in the mucous secretions of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts.

More Information
Glucosamine chondroitin sulfate are components of normal cartilage. In the body, they are the building blocks for cartilage and appear to stimulate the body to make more cartilage. Glucosamine supplementation is recommended for anyone with osteoarthritis as studies show it may alleviate pain and increase flexibility. Glucosamine sulfate supports smooth and flexible joint movement.
Chondroitin sulfate supports the structural components of joint cartilage and promotes hydration of the joint for improved mobility. Chondroitin sulfate also gives cartilage elasticity allowing it act like a shock absorber and reduces inflammation and joint pain associated with arthritis.
