Osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage loses its elasticity and becomes stiff. This can result in swelling, pain and loss of movement and can make the joint prone to further deterioration and damage. Osteoarthritis usually affects people in their fifties (however it is not confined to those in this age group) causing pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. The joints most commonly affected include the knee, hips, hands, feet and spine, with pain and tenderness predominating in one or more of these areas of the body.
People Using Glucosamine Instead Of Drugs For Osteoarthritis
Many patients with degenerative joint disease like osteoarthritis use glucosamine sulfate. Glucosamine is vital in the formation and health of ligaments, tendons, nails, skin, eyes, bones, and heart valves. Medical journals such as The Lancet and The Journal of the American Medical Association have published research papers highlighting the proven benefits of glucosamine for arthritic patients.
As people age the glucosamine levels in the body begin to decline. Glucosamine is responsible for the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans within the joint. Glucosamine is the precursor to the substances that form the tissues of the joints, and aids in the healing of these joints when they are damaged. Chondroitin, while being one of the major gylcosaminoglycans, also acts to inhibit degradative enzymes that promote the breakdown of cartilage.
Glucosamine Supplements
Glucosamine is available in a variety of chemical forms, such as glucosamine hydrochloride and glucosamine sulfate. These vary in terms of the amount of actual glucosamine available for use in the body from an equal weight of each form. Glucosamine, or products containing it are some of the most sought after natural supplements in terms of joint health. Perhaps this is so because Glucosamine has been shown to encourage good joint health. Glucosamine is available in oral supplements as glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and n-acetyl glucosamine. These products may come in tablet, capsule, and powder forms.
Studies with both the sulfate and hydrochloride forms have been positive Dr. Jason Theodosakis, MD, author of “The Arthritis Cure” and an authority on glucosamine, states: “The rumor is that glucosamine sulfate is the only form that beneficially affects the cartilage. This is incorrect. Glucosamine hydrochloride may actually be more effective gram for gram since there’s more pure glucosamine per unit weight in the hydrochloride form. Besides, most of the glucosamine sold as sulfate is probably glucosamine hydrochloride anyway (with an added sulfate, such as the salt, potassium sulfate). Studies with both the sulfate and hydrochloride forms have been positive.” He further states “The sulfate form has the most research evidence to back its use. However, this is probably related to the simple fact that this form was patented in Europe and more research money was available for study.”
