Glucosamine Sulfate in Liquid Joint

According to Wikipedia “In the United States, glucosamine is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for medical use in humans.. Nevertheless, glucosamine is a popular alternative medicine used by consumers for the treatment of osteoarthritis…In Europe, glucosamine is approved as a medical drug and is sold in the form of glucosamine sulfate.”

An article published by WHO (World Health Organization) Collaborating Center for Public Health Aspects of Rheumatic Diseases, Liege, Belgium, states that “glucosamine sulfate has also been shown, in two independent studies, to prevent the joint space narrowing observed at the femorotibial compartment [spaces around the knee] in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.”

This article, available through PubMed, is only one of 10964 studies of glucosamine and it effect on osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. So that you are fully informed, you should know, a number of these articles refute the effectiveness of glucosamine. Whether the difference in results is due to dosage, or method of delivery, or bias, I cannot tell. I do know that many people report relief from arthritic pain using glucosamine.

Glucosamine is a substance naturally found in the body. As we age, we tend to produce less than is needed for joint health. Liquid Joint combines Glucosamine Sulfate with Chondroitin Sulfate, Lycopene, Horsetail, Collagen, B Complex and Zinc to help your body naturally repair joint damage and promote joint health. The liquid form is tasty, easy to swallow and the nutrients are more quickly absorbed.

Eating Healthy,
