What are Chondroitin benefits?
Chondroitin is a supplement often used in conjunction with glucosamine to help treat joint pain and stiffness and other symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA). However, although many people report some benefits from using chondroitin, (especially when combined with glucosamine), scientific researchers do not hold these two supplements in high regard for treating osteoarthritis symptoms.

Joint Inflammatory and Stiffness
Joint stiffness and inflammation is the feeling of limited joint movement. This sensation may or may not be caused by weakness and is associated with long periods of immobility. Stiffness is common with arthritis, and inflammation worsens the pain and limits certain movement. The timing and cause of the inflammation and stiffness can only be diagnosed by doctors, but preventive and palliative treatments are options for those who suffer from these complaints.
