http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/node/182 Liquid glucosamine supplements may be
more helpful in colder months One of our most popular ingredients in our
liquid nutritional supplements [1] is glucosamine. Glucosamine is found
naturally in the body, generally in a person’s joints since it is a major
component of cartilage. One of the major reasons a person will take a
glucosamine supplement is because of joint pain associated with
osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is not available from any food sources, so people
who need additional glucosamine need to take it in supplement form. The forms
of glucosamine that are generally used in supplements are glucosamine
sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, or N-acetyl-glucosamine. Most glucosamine
used in supplements is made from shellfish. For those who are allergic to
shellfish there are a number of forms of vegetarian glucosamine available as
well. In addition to varying forms of glucosamine, there are a variety of
forms the supplement comes in including tablets, powders and liquid
glucosamine [2]. The generally recommended dosage for glucosamine is 500 mg,
2-3 times a day. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center,
“Glucosamine hydrochloride has been reported to be better absorbed by the
body.” Conversely, WebMD.com says, “some researchers believe that
glucosamine hydrochloride might not work as well as glucosamine sulfate. They
think the “sulfate” part of glucosamine sulfate is the important factor
because sulfate is needed by the body to produce cartilage.” According to
the Mayo Clinic, “It is believed that the sulfate moiety provides clinical
benefit in the synovial fluid by strengthening cartilage and aiding
glycosaminoglycan synthesis. If this hypothesis is confirmed, it would mean
that only the glucosamine sulfate form is effective and non-sulfated
glucosamine forms are not effective.” More studies are needed to know
definitively which form of glucosamine is the most effective against
osteoarthritis. Most glucosamine supplements also contain additional
ingredients such as Chondroitin and MSM. These ingredients also help in
easing joint stiffness and pain associated with osteoarthritis. While
glucosamine is generally considered to be safe, it’s always important to
consult a medical professional before starting a new supplement program. [1] http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/
