Studies Reveal Glucosamine and Chondroitin Helpful for Osteoarthritis Pain-Free Life

 

Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/04/2015 -- NSAIDs are pain relief drugs that are widely used by sufferers of arthritic conditions such as osteoarthritis. However, due to the increasing number of people who are suffering from side effects associated with pain relief drug use, more and more people are turning to natural alternatives such as glucosamine and chondroitin. The good news is that sufferers who use these natural alternatives may potentially be on the right track towards having an improved quality of life.

Studies reveal glucosamine and chondroitin are helpful for the attainment of an osteoarthritis pain-free life. Supplements are widely used by many sufferers in their diet to ease arthritis pain. In addition to using glucosamine and chondroitin, there are people who also use Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which is a supplement that is also believed to offer pain relief.

"Nowadays, some of the best herbal supplement manufacturers offer glucosamine supplements that also contain chondroitin and MSM," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.

According to experts, glucosamine and chondroitin are the building blocks of the cartilage, and they seem to encourage the body to produce more cartilage. There were studies that found the two therapeutic ingredients are beneficial for individuals who suffer from osteoarthritis pain, due to cartilage breakdown. They are believed to not just provide pain relief, but also slow down cartilage breakdown in individuals who suffer from osteoarthritis. Most of the studies focused on osteoarthritis in the knee, while a few focused on the hands, back and hips.

A majority of studies suggest that the use of glucosamine has helped improve pain from knee osteoarthritis more than the placebo. There was also evidence that showed chondroitin did not just provide pain relief, but also helped repair cartilage damage.

Studies also revealed that the combination of the two ingredients can be a potential remedy for slowing down cartilage breakdown in the early stages of osteoarthritis in the knee. It was further suggested that the combination of the ingredients could potentially reduce moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis pain. It is believed that it can take around four to six weeks of glucosamine use before sufferers can see some noticeable improvements.

Glucosamine supplements that also contain other therapeutic ingredients such as chondroitin, MSM, and turmeric are believed to be more beneficial. These substances offer various healing effects for the body. Consumers do not have to purchase these ingredients individually and instead just choose a glucosamine product that contains them. It is also imperative that consumers choose a reputable company to get their supplements from (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
