Uses
Arthroblock forte (Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCL/Chondroitin Sulfate/Hyaluronic Acid/Boswelia Serrata Extract/Zingiber Extract/Vitamin C/Albion Manganese Amino Acid Chelate) is a supplement containing 7 active ingredients which is administered to help maintain the health and function of the joints, bones and connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the joints and has widely been given in the form of an injection for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
It helps to function as a lubricant for the joints, which is achieved by affecting the viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid found in the joints, so as to help reduce friction during movement. Boswelia Serrata extract is also known as Indian frankincense and is obtained from the resin of a tree. It has been widely used in the treatment of rheumatism, tendonitis, bursitis and other related conditions for its analgesic and antinflammatory effects. Zingiger officinale (ginger root) extract also reduces inflammation.
Glucosamine sulphate is found in the body and plays an important role in the building of ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Doctors believe that it may help prevent the cartilage in the joints from being broken down, and because of this it has been used in the treatment of arthritis. It is frequently combined with chondroitin sulphate and manganese, so as to enhance its benefits. Finally, Vitamin C is added as it is important in helping with oxidative stress.

Arthroblock forte comes as capsules which are taken by mouth. You will need to consult your doctor to determine the correct dosage. In some cases, adults will be told to take 1 capsule either once or twice per day, and treatment may need to continue for 2 to 3 months. After this, the doctor may direct the patient to recommence treatment after a 1 to 2 month break. However, this is only if the doctor deems it necessary.
