Glucosamine and Chondroitin
Sulfates—the Body's Tools For Regenerating Cartilage
Natural Help for Arthritis
without Dangerous Side Effects
Non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen
(Motrin and Advil), indomethacin (Indocin), sulindac
(Clinoril), and naproxen (Naproxyn), actually increase
the destruction of cartilage lining the ends of the bones.
In one study, physicians checked 186 patients with hip
x-rays. The 58 patients taking Indocin showed more rapid
hip deterioration than the group that took nothing.
About 25% of people who
take NSAIDs develop ulcers. FDA statistics show that
each year some 20,000 people die from gastrointestinal
complications. The primary reason for blood transfusions
in hospitals is because of these complications. Acetaminophen
does not have these gastrointestinal side effects. But
acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause of hospitalization
for acute liver failure, and 10% of all kidney failures
are linked to acetaminophen. In the well-publicized case
of 37 year-old Antonio Benedi, ten Extra-Strength Tylenol
tablets taken over the course of four days resulted in
acute liver failure that led to a liver transplant.
-
In one study, 80 patients with osteoarthritis
of the neck, joints, or lumbar spine were given either
1,500
mg of glucosamine sulfate or a placebo for 30 days.
The glucosamine group experienced significant improvement.
Another study matched glucosamine with Motrin.
After
eight weeks, the glucosamine group had clearly
experienced better results. Glucosamine exerts a protective
effect
against joint degradation, and enhances the synthesis
of the substance that gives the joint fluid its
thick viscosity, providing natural lubrication for
the cartilage
and membranes of the joint.
- Like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate is also
a component of cartilage, and it too has been shown in
numerous studies to produce better results than NSAIDs
in relieving the pain and inflammation of arthritis.
In one notable double-blind study, patients suffering
from osteoarthritis took from 800 to 1200 mg of chondroitin
sulfate or a placebo daily. Cartilage tissue samples
in the group using the chondroitin sulfate showed that
damaged cartilage had been significantly repaired after
only three months.
Many people
achieve best results using glucosamine and chondroitin
sulfates together. MSM has its own unique anti-inflammatory
properties and is of additional benefit for many individuals.
