The painful toll of joint disease affects more than 46 million Americans and is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Worldwide, more than 355 million people suffer with the disease.
By 2030 the number of people with arthritis is expected to rise by 40%. Osteoarthritis affects nearly 27 million Americans and rheumatoid arthritis affects 1.3 million. Obesity is the number one cause of osteoarthritis because the extra weight stresses the joints. Nearly two in three people who are obese will develop knee osteoarthritis over their lifetime, but losing 15 pounds can cut the knee pain in half.
According to the 2008 World Arthritis Day "Think Psitive" survey, 97 percent of people with arthritis indicated the condition affects them or people they care about emotionally and 5 percent of them said it may lead to depression.
Clinical evidence shows arthritis/rheumatism can have a debilitating effect on people's lives by restricting physical, psychological and social function.
In 2003, more than 650,000 total joint replacement procedures were performed by orthopedic surgeions in the U.S. The most frequent reason for these surperies is to relieve pain and disablility caused by servere arthritis.

I can, personally, attest to the benefits of using this product and if you continue reading you may find a bit of you in what I say.....
