<strong>How</strong> <strong>Effective</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>Glucosamine</strong>?<br />
What <strong>is</strong> glucosamine?<br />
<strong>Glucosamine</strong> <strong>is</strong> one of the building blocks of cartilage. Cartilage<br />
covers and protects the ends of bones, allowing them to move<br />
smoothly against each other. <strong>Glucosamine</strong> has recently emerged<br />
as an alternative treatment option for patients with osteoarthrit<strong>is</strong>. It<br />
ass<strong>is</strong>ts in the production of lubricant and shock absorbing<br />
materials in joints, which are necessary for healthy joint function.<br />
<strong>Glucosamine</strong> also appears to have some anti-Inflammatory effect.<br />
<strong>Glucosamine</strong> comes in two forms – glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride.<br />
What does the research say?<br />
• <strong>Glucosamine</strong> hydrochloride: Studies suggest the hydrochloride form may not be<br />
as effective in relieving pain as glucosamine sulfate. There <strong>is</strong> limited evidence<br />
showing the effect of glucosamine hydrochloride on cartilage.<br />
• <strong>Glucosamine</strong> sulfate: Opinion <strong>is</strong> divided about the effectiveness of glucosamine<br />
sulfate on pain. In the majority of studies, glucosamine improved pain from OA of<br />
1
the knee. There <strong>is</strong> some evidence that glucosamine sulfate can slow cartilage<br />
breakdown in the knee.<br />
<strong>How</strong> long will it take to notice an effect?<br />
You may need to take the supplements for four to six weeks before you notice any<br />
improvement.<br />
<strong>How</strong> much should I take?<br />
The recommended dose of glucosamine <strong>is</strong> 1500mg/day taken<br />
orally either as tablet or in powder formula.<br />
At PHYSIO4ALL we recommend ChondroPlex by BioCeuticals<br />
which contains three key joint nutrients (glucosamine, chondroitin<br />
and MSM), which promote healthy joint t<strong>is</strong>sue. It <strong>is</strong> recommended<br />
adults take 1 tablet, three times daily to get the recommended<br />
1500mg of glucosamine<br />
