    摘要: The present invention relates to compositions, kits, and methods utilized for the treatment of joint dysfunction, bone dysfunction, and / or inflammation. The composition utilized herein are useful for those mammals experiencing painful or debilitating joint, bone, or inflammatory conditions, and are particularly suited for mammals which are diabetic or at risk for diabetes, as well as those desiring or requiring conveniently dosed chondroprotective compositions having low carbohydrate content, low caloric value and / or having a low glycemic index. In particular, the present compositions comprise: a) a chondroprotective agent selected from gelatin, cartilage, aminosugars, glycosaminoglycans, methylsulfonylmethane, precursors of methylsulfonylmethane, S-adenosylmethionine, and mixtures thereof; b) a sweetening agent other than glucose, dextrose, sucrose, and fructose; and c) at least about 10 % water, by weight of the composition. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the present compositions comprise: a) a chondroprotective agent selected from gelatin, cartilage, aminosugars, glycosaminoglycans, methylsulfonylmethane, precursors of methylsulfonylmethane, S-adenosylmethionine, salts thereof, and mixtures thereof; and b) a sweetening agent other than glucose, dextrose, sucrose, and fructose; wherein the composition is substantially free of aspartame.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to kits which are useful for promoting one or more health benefits as defined herein. In particular, the present kits comprise: (a) a composition comprising one or more chondroprotective agents and at least about water; and(b) information selected from the group consisting of: (i) dose-form information; (ii) instruction or suggestion of ingestion of the composition within about 4 hours of ingestion of a food or beverage; and (iii) combinations thereof. The present invention is further directed to kits comprising: (a) a composition comprising one or more chondroprotective agents and at least about 80% water; and (b) a separate food or beverage. The present invention also relates to methods of enhancing a benefit associated with a composition comprising one or more chondroprotective agents and water, the method comprising administering to a mammal the composition within about 4 hours of administration of a food or beverage.
