Glucosamine

Glucosamine sulfate is a synthetic version of a compound the human body makes to stimulate the growth of cartilage. Glucosamine is known for assisting with joint support.*

A recently published study of glucosamine sulfate from the British journal Lancet has again confirmed the benefits of glucosamine sulfate for joint health. Over three years, 212 patients were given a placebo or 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate daily. Instead of just measuring the patient’s subjective reports of pain or stiffness, the researchers demonstrated measurable, objective evidence of glucosamine’s joint benefits.

X-rays of the knees were taken at various intervals during the study and showed that the expected progression of joint degeneration was halted! X-rays from those taking a placebo showed continued degeneration of the knee joint. There were no side effects or complications noted in the glucosamine group.*

Take anti-inflammatories for short-term relief, but use glucosamine for long-term repair.*
