Glucosamine - 60 x 530mg Capsules

What is Glucosamine used for:

• Glucosamine is used as one of the most effective treatments for osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is an amino sugar produced from the shells of chitin (shellfish) and is a key component of cartilage. It works to stimulate joint function and repair. It has been proven effective in numerous scientific trials for treating osteoarthritis pain, rehabilitating cartilage, renewing synovial fluid, and repairing joints that have been damaged from osteoarthritis. Besides this remedy containing glucosamine, it also contains African potato which is helpful for many conditions that involve the tissues of the skin, organs, muscles, and circulatory system.

Benefits:

• The process of regenerating body tissues is a timely effort that can affect the rate at which people will reach their full recovery. This is why glucosamine is a helpful supplement to those who need to recover but want to avoid unnecessary pain like arthritis. Knee osteoarthritis is caused by joint degeneration or "wear and tear" of cartilage and occurs primarily in people who have suffered severe cartilage injury. In this study, 50 volunteers with regular knee pain were divided into two groups to take either 2,000 milligrams per day of Glucosamine or a daily placebo. Over 12 weeks, four clinical testing sessions recorded changes in knee pain and function. Via the method of self-report evaluations taken over the 12-week period, 88% of those taking Glucosamine reported some degree of pain improvement in their knees, compared to only 17% of those taking a placebo. Both groups had improved scores over time, indicating that even the placebo pills had some positive effect, yet quality of life scores was also significantly higher for the Glucosamine group than those taking a placebo. It is important to be patient if you're trying out Glucosamine - it might not work at first, but eventually may come around.
