Apple Pectin has been successful for me in relieving the extreme pain I had in my joints.
Apple Pectin is not a drug or pain killer it bonds with heavy metals that collect in the joints and other tissues and eliminates them from your body. In addition it helps coat the cartilage between your joints and aids the Synovial fluids that decrease with age or trauma. Some people get relief with in 48 hours where Glucosomine has failed.
I've been taking it for about 6 years. Apple Pectin can be found in most health food stores. Few know of its use for joint pain relief.
