Glucosamine

Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a substance that is naturally produced by the body. Glucosaminem serves a key function in building cartilage - the tough connective tissue that serves as a cushion for the joints. Glucosamine has been found to provide relief of joint pain, improve joint function and mobility, reduces joint swelling and stiffnes, and provide symptom relief (not cure, treatment or prevention) to people suffering of osteoarthritis (OA).

Glucosamine Benefits

Clinical studies indicate that glucosamine taken in dietary form has been found effective to relief joint pain caused by injury, as well as due to the normal wear and tear caused by aging. Joint pain commonly occurs in older adults, as well as among people who participate in sports or athletic activities. Glucosamine is often taken with chondroitin, another supplement thought to be effective in relieving joint pain and counter the effects of cartilage loss.

Glucosamine is essentially a combination of glucose and protein which together form a helpful combination for alleviating arthritis pain and maintaining a healthy skin; it is also necessary for the production of hyaluronic acid that is vital for healing of wounds. ^[1] Proper use of glucosamine supplements therefore will help in repairing the cartilage by stimulating the body's total supply of natural compounds. Scientific evidence has also shown that glucosamine can reduce the pain of different types of joints. Another advantage of glucosamine is that it’s a natural alternative for pain reduction and tissue repair when compared to traditional drugs.

Glucosamine has been found to have the following health benefits:

• Support joint flexibility
• Relieve joint discomfort and pain
• Maintain healthy cartilage
• Improve joint function and ease mobility
• Reduce pain associated with joint deterioration
• Provide the natural building blocks of cartilage
• Reduce joint inflammation
• Support healthy joints, a key to the body’s ability to resist injury

Glucosamine Side Effects

Glucosamine has shown remarkable results in clinical trials; but there are a few possible side effects which may include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, irregular heartbeat, hair loss and digestive disturbances. There have been rare incidences where some people have suffered serious side effects such as ocular hypertension, which creates high pressure in the eye when used along with Chondroitin. People who have allergic reaction to shellfish should not take glucosamine from animal sources. EZ MELTS Joint Relief Complex uses a vegetable (non-shellfish) form of glucosamine. Diabetic patients also need to be careful as it may raise levels of insulin in the blood. ^[3]  Patients taking anticoagulants should use glucosamine only after discussing with their doctor.
