The joints are dampened by the fluid and cartilage surrounding them. In some people with osteoarthritis, cartilage breaks down and becomes thinner. This results in more frequent friction, pain, and joint stiffness. Researchers believe that the use of glucosamine may increase the density of cartilage and fluid surrounding the joints, or at least prevent the degradation of these substances.
We know two basic types of glucosamine:
• Glucosamine Hydrochloride
• Glucosamine Sulphate
Although similar, they do not have the same effect when taken as supplements.
Glucosamine is very often used in the field of alternative medicine for arthritis of the knee.
Glucosamine can be administered in 3 ways:
· Orally (by mouth)
· Trans dermally through creams effective against joint pain
· Intramuscularly (into the muscle) by injection
Glucosamine should be supplemented for 2 to 4 months before its positive effects occur. Glucosamine supplementation is recommended according to studies to date at a daily dose of 1500 to 2000 mg.
