Introducing Dona glucosamine sulfate -- the supplement with the most clinical proof for promoting healthy joints.

Seth talks about Dona glucosamine
Seth Ginsberg, diagnosed with arthritis at 13, and co-founder of CreakyJoints at 18, relies on a combination of prescription drugs, supplements and a consistent exercise program to keep feeling good.

"I want to make sure my quality of life is as good as it can be, and one of the components in my feeling good regimen is Dona glucosamine. Here's why I use Dona glucosamine and why I think you should use it, too:

"First, no governmental or private organization in the United States regulates supplements. Not the FDA. Nobody. This means the strength of your expensive supplements can vary widely by brand, and even within the same brand. Think about this next time you're spending a few hundred dollars on supplements.

"Dona glucosamine is a prescription drug in Europe where it is made. It is regulated by European governments and must meet exacting standards. So Dona glucosamine strength is consistent. You know what you are buying."

Dona. The glucosamine sulfate with
the most clinical proof.

Dona has the proven science leading to better joint motion.
Two recent landmark 3-year studies show that Dona can improve joint flexibility and, more importantly, rebuild and maintain joint health.* Leading medical journals like The Lancet warn that without head-to-head trials, other glucosamine products may not have the same benefits as Dona.

Prescription strength, prescription quality
Dona was developed by a pharmaceutical company in Europe, where it's actually a prescription medicine. In fact, Dona is the number one prescribed glucosamine sulfate in over 60 countries. That means Dona is made under those strict pharmaceutical standards, even though here you can get Dona off the shelf.

Science in motion, you in motion
While Dona is proud to be the leader in glucosamine sulfate research, even more important is what Dona can mean to you. Like more laps. Or running on the beach with your four-footed pal. Or reaching down to braid your niece's hair. That's really what science in motion is all about.

DONA FAQs

What is Dona?
Dona is glucosamine sulfate, a key building block for your body to make cartilage. Healthy cartilage keeps your joints flexible and free of pain--and that makes just about everything you do feel easier.

Why haven't I heard of Dona if it's been researched for years?
Dona is new only to the U.S. and Canada, where it was introduced in 2001. But it's been a prescription medicine around the world for over 10 years. In fact, it's the number one prescribed glucosamine sulfate in 60 countries. However, Dona is available here without a prescription.

Is Dona the same as other joint supplements?
No. In fact, Dona is the glucosamine sulfate used in over 90 percent of the studies showing the effectiveness and safety of this supplement. Without head-to-head clinical studies comparing Dona with other glucosamine products, it's impossible to attribute Dona's benefits to these other compounds.

Does Dona work right away?
Although you may feel some relief from joint stiffness in as little as two weeks, you won't actually be getting the full benefit of Dona before 3 months. Because Dona helps you rebuild cartilage, it can continue working for you as long as you take it.

Who should take Dona?
Anyone who would like to keep their joints healthy and flexible. Almost all of the studies with Dona were done on people suffering from osteoarthritis, so the beneficial results were shown with these sufferers in particular. Remember, too, that while most medicines recommended for osteoarthritis may reduce joint inflammation, Dona also helps rebuild and maintain the actual joint tissue.

Since glucosamine sulfate is an amino sugar, will it affect people with diabetes?
In both short-term and long-term studies (3 years), glucosamine sulfate did not raise glucose levels, even in diabetics.

I've heard glucosamine sulfate is made from shellfish. Will Dona affect people with this allergy?
No. Dona is highly purified and doesn't contain the elements that might cause allergic reactions. However, as with any medicine or supplement, if you experience side effects, you should speak with your doctor.

How is Dona sold?
Dona is available in a 30-day supply of measured powder packets or caplets.

What is the difference between Dona powder and Dona caplets?
Some people have trouble swallowing (a pair of) 750 mg pills and so choose Dona powder; they stir it into water, juice, or their favorite beverage before drinking it.

Others are phenylketonurics, and so choose Dona caplets. Both Dona Powder and Dona Capsules provide the same amount of glucosamine sulfate (1500 mg per packet or pair of caplets) and are equally potent. We here don't really have a favorite. Sometimes, we'll go back and forth from day-to-day, depending on our mood. Choose whichever you're most comfortable with.

Is your product fresh?
Yes! Our Dona is shipped directly to you from the manufacturer, Rotta Pharmaceuticals, with typical product expiration dates on the order of 18 months from purchase. (Makes you wonder just how old other supplements are, and if they've been stored properly, eh?)

How long will it take to ship my order?
Orders are usually shipped by the next business day via USPS. You should receive your order within 4-7 business days.

My question isn't listed here! What should I do?
Send us an e-mail or call us at 1-800-701-8275, Mon-Fri, between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
