Glucosamine

A molecule derived from the sugar glucose
by the addition of an amino (NH2) group, glucosamine is a component of a
number of structures including the blood group substances and cartilage.
Glucosamine is a nutritional supplement. Glucosamine may improve
symptoms of pain and stiffness in some patients with osteoarthritis,
according to recent research studies. In one study, glucosamine was
compared to ibuprofen (ADVIL, MEDIPREN, MOTRIN, NUPRIN.) Pain relief
was more rapid with ibuprofen 400mg three times daily than with
glucosamine 500mg three times daily; however, after 4 weeks the relief
of symptoms was similar with the two treatments. (Of note, this dose
of ibuprofen is not an antiinflammatory dose; higher amounts are
typically given.)
Glucosamine nutritional
supplement has not been evaluated for
other forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Glucosamine has been marketed as a
"cartilage rebuilder." This is in part under the assumption that,
because glucosamine is a component of normal cartilage, consuming it
will assist in the rebuilding of damaged cartilage. There is no strong
evidence that glucosamine alone, or in combination with chondroitin,
is of value in rebuilding cartilage that is damaged by osteoarthritis.
It has also received acclaim as a "cure" for arthritis -- for which
there is no evidence.

Arthritis,
cancer, heart attacks, allergies, bowel disease, Alzheimer’s, and
dozens of other conditions all have one thing in common—inflammation.
Inflammation, noted by pain, heat, redness and swelling, is the body’s
first defense against infection and injury. But when the flames of
inflammation run out of control, deadly consequences arise.
Celadrin, a blend of special fatty acids, is one of the most
effective, natural anti-inflammatories. Both humans and animals have
shown remarkable benefits of reduced pain and swelling, increased
movement, and reduction of inflammatory factors when using Celadrin
nutritional supplement.
Results of a double-blind, multi-centre, placebo-controlled trial (the
most scientifically validated type) published in the prestigious
Journal of Rheumatology found that Celadrin
nutritional supplement when taken
orally improved joint and mobility problems. Sixty-four participants
between the ages of 37 to 77 were given Celadrin capsules. They were
evaluated at the beginning, at 30 days and at the end of the 68-day
study. Compared to the placebo, Celadrin shined. Participants had more
flexibility, less aches and pain, and were able to walk longer
distances than the placebo group.
