The survey has again named CosaminDS as the number one brand of glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate sulfate, chemical compound containing the sulfate (SO4) radical. Sulfates are salts or esters of sulfuric acid, H2SO4, formed by replacing one or both of the hydrogens with a metal (e.g., sodium) or a radical (e.g., ammonium or ethyl). recommended by orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists. David Moore, Vice President of the Consumer Products Division of Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. states, "We are pleased to see that these medical professionals have consistently recognized the value of our product. Only the CosaminDS brand has been proven effective in controlled, published US studies to reduce joint pain." The study revealed that over 90% of surveyed orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists are confident in the safety of glucosamine-chondroitin sulfate use in their patients and over two thirds associate CosaminDS with double-blind clinical studies (the number one criteria for selecting a glucosamine-chondroitin sulfate product). CosaminDS contains the proven low molecular weight (LMW LMW Low-Molecular-Weight LMW Licensed Manufacturing Warehouse LMW Littoral and Mine Warfare LMW Lead Mobility Wing LMW Limited Manufacturer Warranty LMW Low-Water Mark LMW LanMan Workstation LMW Level of Maximum Wind LMW Local Minority Woman Owned Company ) chondroitin sulfate chondroitin sulfate /chon·dro·i·tin sul·fate/ (kon-dro´i-tin) 1. a glycosaminoglycan that predominates in connective tissue, particularly cartilage, bone, and blood vessels, and in the cornea. 2. and glucosamine glucosamine /glu·co·sa·mine/ (gloo-ko´sah-men) an amino derivative of glucose, occurring in glycosaminoglycans and a variety of complex polysaccharides such as blood group substances. combination not found in other brands.
