Glucosamine Q&A
What is Glucosamine? Glucosamine is one of the most effective supplements for osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is an amino sugar produced from the shellfish. Glucosamine works to stimulate joint function and repair.
Each person produces a certain amount of glucosamine within their bodies. When people grow older, their bodies lose the capacity to make enough glucosamine. Having ample glucosamine in your body is essential to producing the nutrients needed to stimulate the production of synovial fluid, the fluid which lubricates your cartilage and keeps your joints healthy. Without enough glucosamine, the cartilage in their weight-bearing joints, such as the hips, knees, and hands deteriorates.
Have there been studies on Glucosamine? A number of studies over the last 20 years have been conducted with Glucosamine.
A 1982 clinical study compared usage of the NSAID ibuprofen with glucosamine sulfate, for osteoarthritis of the knee. During the first two weeks, ibuprofen decreased pain faster, but by the fourth week the glucosamine group was well ahead in pain relief. The overall results showed 44% of the glucosamine group had pain relief compared to 15% for ibuprofen. Because glucosamine is not an anti-inflammatory drug, it takes longer to start working, but it works equally well.

Nature’s cushion: Glucosamine sulfate is a natural compound produced by the body, that contributes to the natural cushioning effect of cartilage.
Moving on: MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound, found in all living plant and animal tissues. Known for enhancing flexibility and reducing pain.
Body support: Turmeric and boswellia are natural anti-inflammatory herbs that aid the body in being healthy.
Nutrition for the joints: Also contains bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapple, and Peptizyme®, an enzyme complex, each of which are known to reduce
swelling of the joints and muscles.
Did You Know? The connective tissue and cartilage in your body includes a natural compound called glucosamine. The cartilage important for cushioning the joints can lose its ability to support healthy cellular growth as we age. The body’s production of glucosamine, an amino sugar, decreases with age. Joint Support – Glucosamine with Herbs helps support joints subject to wear and tear.
