JOINT PAIN?


Glucosamine and Chondroitin

Glucosamine and chondroitin are two molecules that make up the type of cartilage found within joints. Inside your joints, cartilage undergoes a constant process of breakdown and repair. However, to be properly repaired, the building blocks of cartilage must be present and available. The theory behind using the glucosamine and chondroitin joint supplements is that more of the cartilage building blocks will be available for cartilage repair.

Recently Chuka Do,

my own personal Skooby

has been having some hip problems

i took her to the doggie hospital before i left for NYC due to her calmed demeanor, lack of mobility then crying.

As a mom, it scared the

crap outta me

They put her on an anti-inflamitory and restricted her movement for the week that I was gone

She seems to be fine now,

but I don’t want to

keep her on medication


So I was in search of a holistic/herbal approach


Thankfully the employees at HEALTH SPOT,

where Chukes has her "SPA DAYS",

were very knowledgable and helped me find

www.healthyspotonline.com

Lithe Tea

MADE FROM:

alfalfa, white willow bark, yucca, ginger, red clover & boswellia

it helps support normal joint health, flexion & movement

www.thehonestkitchen.com


Now she seems to be back to her normal self

galloping around the house...

& stuffing her head in between the couch

when she feels that i am not paying ENOUGH attention to her


there is still some swelling in her hip joints

but will keep up with the teas

and maybe even try some MYSELF!

THE TEA IS SAFE FOR HUMANS OF COURSE

so if you want to take the hollistic route intsead of the

Glucosamine and Chondroitin

LOOK FOR SIMILAR INGREDIENTS

white willow bark

bosweelia
