Bring Stiff, Uncomfortable Hands Back to Life... Naturally

Stiff, uncomfortable joints can make difficult work of even the most mundane tasks when your hands are bearing the brunt of the discomfort… whether it’s buttoning your shirt, typing an email, or signing a simple check. But suboptimal joint function doesn’t have to slow your day down. In fact, according to one new study, a daily dose of the natural compound chondroitin sulfate could revitalize the comfort and flexibility of your hands in a matter of months.

As part of this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial, 162 subjects with confirmed suboptimal joint health, as well as comfort and flexibility complaints, were given 800 mg of chondroitin sulfate or a placebo each day for six full months. Researchers assessed each subject for several measures of hand function and joint health—including grip strength, morning stiffness, and use of conventional remedies for hand discomfort—at both the beginning and the end of the study.

Results at the conclusion of the six-month trial revealed that, among those subjects supplementing with chondroitin sulfate, hand comfort and function improved significantly compared to the placebo group. What’s more, this group also reported enhanced joint comfort in the morning, as well as greater overall efficacy. Use of conventional remedies and grip strength were the same in both groups.¹

The study authors’ conclusion: Chondroitin sulfate is a safe and effective solution for boosting both hand function and comfort—offering you a natural, side-effect-free way to revitalize the dexterity of your stiff, uncomfortable fingers.

You can find chondroitin sulfate paired with several other joint health powerhouses—including glucosamine sulfate, MSM, and Type-II collagen—in the daily formula Joint Support Formula, available from Complementary Prescriptions®.
