FOR PAINFUL AND ARTHRITIC JOINTS
 The
freedom to run, to walk, to move our hands,
is as precious to us all as the air we breathe.
How Glucosamine can help ease
Joint Problems and Associated Pain.
Why Glucosamine?
Glucosamine is proving to be one of the
best weapons in the war against Arthritis, painful joints, damaged ligaments and
tendons and even more important, it also
forms Synovial Fluid, the substance that helps lubricate the joints.
Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and other
joint problems of the same ilk are in effect degenerative diseases.
One of the most common diseases affecting some people as they grow older is
Osteoarthritis. This can be very painful indeed. It is purely down to the
wearing out of the joints, and/or the joints ceasing to function as they
originally did. Often this is down to lack of Synovial Fluid, which the body
ceases to produce in the quantities it originally did. If this is accompanied
by a wearing out of the joints and tissues surrounding them, you can see why
there is a problem. The bones quite literally grind together. Devoid of the
lubrication of the Synovial Fluid, they wear out, and the problem goes from
bad to worse. Eventually it may end up in complete immobilisation.
The logical thing to do therefore is to regenerate the joints and to restore
them to their original health, or as near to it as possible.
Clinical researchers using 1500mg of Glucosamine daily for 6-8 weeks have
reported significant improvement in joint mobility and freedom of pain over
extended periods of time, i.e. three months or more.
What is Glucosamine Sulphate?
Glucosamine Sulphate is in fact, a form of sugar which is utilised in
the production of tendons, ligaments and connective tissue within the body. The
sugar is actually mucopolysaccharid, which distinguishes it from other forms of
sugar such as sucrose, glucose and the like. These are used for energy
ultimately, whereas the former is mainly involved in helping to re-build and
re-structure the components surrounding the joints.
It also has other functions, principally in the area of growth and
replenishment. It is involved in the formation of tissue of the eyes, skin,
bone, amongst other things,
Naturally enough, anyone suffering from joint pain and partial or even total
immobilisation isn't too concerned how it came about. What they want is relief,
or if possible a cure.
Tests & Research
Glucosamine Sulphate has been shown in numerous tests, scientifically carried
out, with double blind placebos and the like to be remarkably effective in
treating joint problems.
According to proven clinical research Glucosamine out performs
anti-inflammatory drugs over a period of time in relieving arthritis pain
without any side effects.
Doctors in America and a number of European countries are prescribing
Glucosamine for the relief of Arthritis, painful joints and sport injuries.
Glucosamine Sulphate has been shown to initially relieve the symptoms of joint
problems, aches and pains. No minor effect in itself. Beyond that it has been
further shown to actually restore tissue to the point where it recovered to the
same level as it was before degeneration set in.
Now, as with most things, this response to any natural element varies. Some
people get almost complete restoration. Others may experience relief from pain,
better mobility than before and the prevention of further deterioration.
In virtually all instances where Glucosamine was used in tests, everybody trying
it found some benefit.
There are no known side effects and it can be taken with any other medication
that may be prescribed
Essentially, the basic benefit of Glucosamine is in its capacity to actually
restore cartilage and connective tissue. Since it is a primary factor in
development of these areas in the first place , it is logical to assume that it
can also regenerate them if they are worn.
Dosage
Glucosamine is found in the diet in small amounts. Not enough to have any real
restorative benefit. To achieve the effects of pain relief, greater mobility, a
strengthening of the joints, re-growth of worn cartilage and other responses to
this substance the amount to be taken is greater than can be found in your
normal diet.
The optimum dose is 1500mg a day. Taken in capsule or tablet form.
Generally Glucosamine absorbs better with food.
.
Care should be taken when purchasing Glucosamine Sulphate as there are many
differences in quality available.
There is little value in taking one capsule of 400 or 500mg as it will
only create a situation of under-dosing and therefore no end result.
It would appear that in nearly all cases where Glucosamine has not worked it has
been through under-dosing.
As with most things you don't know what it will do for you
until you try it.
If joint pain and all that accompanies it is a problem for you Glucosamine
Sulphate may be just what you need to solve the problem, relieve the pain and
get you mobile again.
Thousands of
people have discovered the benefit of it, probably you will too.
