<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition and method for treating joint conditions, such as osteoarthritis and/or the pain associated therewith. <P>SOLUTION: The compositions and methods utilize a first component, namely hyaluronic acid ("HA"), in combination with a lyophilized second component that is effective to at least temporarily reduce the viscosity of the HA. In an exemplary embodiment, the second component is one or more glycosaminoglycans ("GAG"), such as chondroitin sulfate ("CS"), including CS4 and/or CS6, dermatan sulfate, heparin, heparan sulfate, and keratan sulfate. The composition can optionally include other joint supplements, such as glucosamine ("GlcN"). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
