Beneficial disease: Osteo arthritis, lumbar pain
Usually our body produce glucosamine to make cartilages at the joint areas. However, as aging the amount of glucosamine produced in the body is also decreasing, so the cartilages at the joints become thinner and thinner and resulting the arthritis.
The health suppliment glucosamine is from the carapaces of crustaceans such as shrimps, crap etc, and it is very effective to oesto arthritis.
In the research, the researchers gave 1500mg of glucosamine per day to 1506 arthritis patients for 7 weeks, the results showed patient had more effective treatment with glucosamine than the Ibuprofen only treatment.
That is because the glucosamine has an effect of regenerating cartilage at the damaged joints, so the pain gradually decrease. However, the Ibuprofen is just a pain relief pill, only reducing the pain but burden on the stomach, liver and kidney which can cause more damage at the joint in the future.
Taking Glucosamine with Chondroitin has more effective because together they produce hyaluronic acid, which lubricates joints and GAGs, which absorbs moisture and protects cartilage with a cushioning effect.
How to take the pill?
