| The Role of Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin
Sulfates in the Treatment of Degenerative Joint Disease.
| Article
Summary: |
In
treating arthritis, the most effective treatment
would provide aid in relieving pain as well as providing
some repair for the degradation of the joints involved.
Various studies support the use of glucosamine sulfate
in its ability to both relieve pain and provide
some repair for the joint. The glucosamine is able
to aid in the synthesis of the glycosaminoglycans,
the hyaluronic acid which helps make the proteoglycans
of the bone structure. Chondroitin aids in this
by providing additional aid in synthesis for bone
matter. The use of the combination of chondroitin
and glucosamine seem to provide the most effective
treatment for arthritis, and they are both well
tolerated. |
