FAQ
What is Cosamin ASU?
Brought to you by the makers of Cosamin DS, the #1 Orthopedic Surgeon and Rheumatologist Recommended Joint Health Supplement Brand, Cosamin ASU contains NMX1000 avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, TRH122 chondroitin sulfate and decaffeinated green tea. It is the most complete and comprehensive joint support formula available.
What is joint cartilage?
Most of the bones in our bodies are held together with ligaments and covered by tendons and muscles. Cartilage is the slippery, cushion-like tissue that lines the ends of bones where the bones meet to form a joint, such as the knee or the hip. It is produced and maintained by its own specialized cells. When you do even the simplest of everyday activities, there is tremendous pressure on your joints. The protective layers of cartilage between the bones making up the joint allow the bones to move freely against each other, without pain. Cartilage, joint fluid and connective tissue work together like a shock absorber, allowing flexible joint function.
Why does cartilage break down?
There are many factors that lead to cartilage breakdown:- Age
- Excess weight
- Inactivity or over activity
- Injury
- Genetics
Cartilage lacks a direct blood supply. It relies on nutrients found in the joint fluid to nourish cartilage cells and maintain its structure. When this process is affected by one or more of the factors mentioned above, cartilage can break down to the point where it can no longer provide sufficient protection, resulting in joint discomfort. Laboratory and clinical research has demonstrated that the ingredients in Cosamin ASU can help reduce joint pain and slow down this process.
What role do the glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate play?
The combination of the trademarked FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride and TRH122 chondroitin sulfate supports cartilage production and inhibits enzymes in the joints that break down cartilage. Laboratory and clinical research has demonstrated that glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate can help reduce joint pain. In addition, these ingredients together have been shown in laboratory studies to protect joint cartilage better than either ingredient alone. A greater than additive effect, known as a “synergistic” effect, on cartilage cells was seen using glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate together.
What is ASU?
ASU stands for avocado/soybean unsaponifiables, derived from avocados and soybeans and used for joint health. Studies using cartilage cells have shown that ASU lowers the expression of several compounds involved in the process of cartilage breakdown in the joints. ASU complements the positive effects of the other active ingredients in Cosamin ASU. In addition to being synergistic with chondroitin sulfate, the specific glucosamine in Cosamin ASU has been shown in cartilage cell studies to be synergistic with ASU. Having ASU in the Cosamin ASU formula is also beneficial, as NMX1000 avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, and TRH122 chondroitin sulfate together were shown in cell studies to be more effective than the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate alone at inhibiting the expression of several agents involved in the breakdown of cartilage. Cosamin ASU also contains decaffeinated green tea for antioxidant health benefit effects, which have a positive impact on cartilage as well as on overall body defenses.
Is 800 mg of chondroitin sulfate enough to be effective?
Studies using the exclusive chondroitin sulfate found in Cosamin ASU have shown that it is effective at 800 mg.
How is Cosamin ASU administered?
Following the schedule on the label, we recommend three tablets daily for the initial administration period of 60 days. Some individuals may respond sooner than others depending on the status of their cartilage and joint health. Once response has been seen, the number of tablets per day may be decreased to maintain comfort level. Some individuals on this lower level may wish to go back to three tablets a day during the weekends or times of increased activity. The maintenance level can also be used long-term to help maintain healthy joints. At any time, the number of tablets may be increased back to three tablets per day.
What should I look for when taking Cosamin ASU?
Cosamin ASU is a supplement providing key components to maintain your joint health. Therefore, it works gradually. You should observe gradual changes in your comfort level in 4-8 weeks. Give yourself time to respond. Look for subtle changes initially, such as an easier time going up and down stairs or getting out of a chair or bathtub and more comfort in daily activities, such as walking or any activity using your hands, knees, hips or back. Individual improvement on Cosamin ASU can range from gradual to dramatic.
Are there any safety concerns with Cosamin ASU?
There are no known contraindications or known interactions between Cosamin ASU and any drug or nutritional supplement. If you have any condition or allergy that requires medical attention, you should always consult your physician before taking any drug or dietary supplement.
