Glucosamine is a compound that
has been heavily
touted recently as the "cure" for osteoarthritis.
Recent
scientific studies have shown that glucosamine sulfate
and glucosamine hydrochloride have been able to
rebuild cartilage, halt the progression of osteoarthritis,
and end pain without the side effects of COX-2
inhibitors or NSAIDS.
While there are almost no side effects of glucosamine,
here's what you need to know:
If you are allergic to shellfish you should not be using
glucosamine products at any time. Glucosamine is derived from
shellfish. If you are pregnant or lactating you should consult
your physician before beginning to take glucosamine. Glucosamine
sulfate may increase the risk of developing insulin resistance
and could decrease the metabolic actions of insulin. Although
glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are biochemi-cally classed
as carbohydrates (sugars), the body is not able to break them
down into glucose, so these compounds do not raise blood sugar
by providing an additional
source of glucose. However, many factors can affect insulin
secretion and blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, and we
recommend that individuals with Diabetes check their blood
glucose levels frequently when initiating glucosamine into their
regimen.
High dosages of glucosamine may cause gastric
problems, nausea , diarrhea, indigestion, and heartburn.
Glucosamine should be taken with meals to help avoid these
problems.
Overall, however, there are very few side effects of
Glucosamine. Glucosamine is very safe in comparison to the side
effects of COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex, Vioxx or NSAIDs like
Tylenol and Ibuprofen.
The side effects of COX-2 Inhibitors and NSAIDS are
many. They are associated with stomach ulcers, liver
damage, heart attacks, and strokes. While they do
provide some pain relief, they do little to fight the
actual disease itself and slow it's progression. This is
where glucosamine and chondroitin come in.
Essentially, you have two options when it comes to
ending osteoarthritis. Choice one is to take drugs with
severe side effects that will not stop the disease.
Choice two is to take a natural supplement that has
very few side effects that ends pain quickly and fights
the disease of osteoarthritis, often halting it's
progression. This decision is easy. The problem is that
many glucosamine products out there are low-quality,
in pill form, and are not as effective as they could be.
If you have arthritis, we highly recommend trying a
liquid glucosamine formula Syn-flex. Syn-Flex is a
fast-acting, high-quality osteoarthritis treatment that
works for humans and pets. Formulated with
pharmaceutical grade liquid glucosamine sulfate,
glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, and
eleven other arthritis-fighting ingredients, Syn-Flex will
not only end your pain quickly, it will halt the
progression of your osteoarthritis.
