According to scientific evidence,
glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate work to alleviate pain caused by
arthritis. Glucosamine sulfate records the best results in studies and may
represent the best choice for supplement takers.
Why use glucosamine? Based on tests done, it has been discovered that glucosamine stimulates production of
cartilage-building proteins. What about chondroitin? This chemical has been shown
in testing to inhibit production of cartilage-destroying enzymes and fight
inflammation.
Before going forward, let’s look at what
glucosamine and chondroitin are. Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate
are common components found in normal cartilage. These two chemicals work
together to stimulate the body to make cartilage and repair tissue.
Since glucosamine and chondroitin are
produced naturally by the body to create cartilage, it stands to reason that
they can be beneficial to those with arthritis. Taking these substances as supplements has been demonstrated to reduce
or alleviate arthritic pain.
So, if you suffer from arthritic pain, these
supplements may be worth a try.
I have two recommendations with this.
- The supplements need to be taken consistently, for an extended period (not just for a few weeks, missing days). Take the remedy two or three times daily (depending on the concentration and source of the ingredients) for three months before making any decision.
- Take a
practitioner-only brand as chemist, pharmacy and retail store brands are
often of a lesser quality and concentration and do not necessarily provide
the same results.
