What is
Glucosamine?
Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage.
Glucosamine sulfate is a normal constituent of glycoaminoglycans in
cartilage matrix and synovial fluid.
Hundreds of thousands of people have used
Glucosamine, and many have found it extremely effective to not only
effectively ease their arthritis-related joint pain, but to also to
provide them with far more than just long lasting relief. Glucosamine
has been shown in clinical studies to regrow cartilage, slow the
progression of joint deterioration, and possibly even modify the
disease itself with almost no side effects.
Arthritis
Glucosamine cannot cure your arthritis, but it will do wonders
for your arthritis and joint pain. Because glucosamine works from
within, bathing your joints in a proverbial warm and protective
solution and working to heal your joints instead of merely cover up
pain, results take a little bit longer than NSAIDs ( Non-Steroidal
Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) or COX-2 drugs. Once you have achieved relief,
however, glucosamine works to protect your joints from further damage
while continuing to stave off further damage. Contrasted to
glucosamine, there is evidence that many of the NSAIDs can actually
work against your arthritic joints, to cause your arthritis pain to
become even worse by breaking down your joints
Dosing
In most available studies, 500 milligrams of glucosamine sulfate
has been taken by mouth as tablets or capsules three times daily for 30
to 90 days. Once daily dosing as 1.5 grams (1,500 milligrams) has also
been used. Dosing of 20 milligrams per kilogram of body weight daily
has also been recommended in some publications. One study used a dose
of 2,000 milligrams per day for 12 weeks
Stacking
Also, many people find
Chondroitin Sulfate and MSM
to be helpful for their Joint Pain. 1Fast400 sells both of these
in bulk powder form as well.
