Kevin R Stone, MD, invented Joint Juice® in 1999. As a result of his sports medicine and arthritis practice, Dr. Stone recalls, "A lot of patients came in saying, ‘I’m taking glucosamine instead of the ibuprofen you gave me.’ Ann W Walgenbach, RNFA, NP, my surgical assistant, brought it to my attention. We discovered there were a number of studies, mostly from Europe, that were prospective and well formatted. They demonstrated glucosamine’s positive effect on human tissues and that it was safe."

Joint Juice® was a way to get glucosamine – one of those rare supplements that offers clear benefits and no side effects – into the hands of a lot of people. And not just those who already take glucosamine in tablet form, but also those who are active now and don’t yet have arthritis but will benefit down the road from drinking Joint Juice® now."



At first, the idea was to create an energy bar with glucosamine. But thinking about how people energize, they do it with energy beverages a lot more than energy bars, so the most direct way to get glucosamine into the most people is through a drink form. And liquid glucosamine is absorbed better than the pill form.

Joint Juice® helps people stay active by improving the function and comfort of their joints. That’s because each bottle of Joint Juice® contains a full day’s supply of glucosamine, an increasingly scientifically supported supplement that helps joint health in four ways.

- First, it hydrates joints by helping joints absorb water, relieving that feeling of stiffness people get.

- Second, it lubricates joints since it is the key precursor to the production of hyaluronic acid, the lubricant of all joints and tissues.

- Third, it is an anti-inflammatory, so it can do what aspirin and ibuprofen do, without burning a hole in people’s stomachs.

- Fourth, glucosamine, especially when combined with vitamin C, rebuilds cartilage and collagen – key components that keep joints functioning and tissues strong.

Glucosamine has all of these medical benefits without any known side effects.
