Abstract:
Compositions comprising ferrous ion and an ascorbate have a synergistic effect on cartilage development. Therapeutic compositions comprising ferrous ion and an ascorbate are therefore useful in the treatment of osteoarthritis. The addition of a glucosamine, such as glucosamine hydrochloride, to the composition has a further enhanced effect on cartilage production. Therapeutic compositions comprising ferrous ion, an ascorbate and a glucosamine derivative are even more useful in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
