Special Report: What You Need To Know
Before You Buy Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a very promising treatment for Arthritis and is
backed by numerous double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. In
these studies, Glucosamine has been shown to rehabilitate
cartilage and reduce the progression of osteoarthritis, and
significantly lessen pain from arthritis. However, one glucosamine
product can be very different from another.
When your pain relief and health is at stake, you need to know how
to choose between competing products and see through the marketing
hype. There are five factors that you need to take into your
decision before purchasing any glucosamine product. These are:
Amount of glucosamine per daily dose
Quality of Ingredients
Delivery System
Synergistic Ingredients
Price Per Day
The method of delivery can make the difference between no pain
relief and complete pain relief. Most products in the store
shelves today are in capsule and pill form. However, the latest
research has shown that glucosamine in liquid form is much more
effective. Glucosamine provided in liquid form is absorbed more
quickly, much more fully, and provides greater and longer lasting
relief.
Simply put, the higher quality of glucosamine you use, the greater
your relief will be. Many companies use medium grade glucosamine
so you must be careful to look for the highest quality. You need
to look for the highest quality form of glucosamine,
pharmaceutical quality, if you want the fastest and fullest relief
and healing.
As far as dosage, if taking glucosamine in capsule form, you will
need at least 1500mg per day. However, if taking glucosamine in
liquid form, because of the very high absorption rate, you will
not need a full 1500mg. 1000-1250mg per day of high quality
glucosamine in liquid form is optimal.
It is important to compare price per day and not price per
product, as many companies try to fool you by providing 60
capsules or 32 oz. and not telling you until after you purchased
that you must use 6 capsules or 2 oz. per day. Be careful to
always compare price per day.
Also crucial to the effectiveness of the product is the other
ingredients that are included in the product. Glucosamine alone,
for most people, is not a cure all. To receive truly complete
relief you need to look for products that combine a number of
arthritis fighting ingredients. You should look for a product that
besides glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine HCL, also contains
arthritis-fighting ingredients such as chondroitin, boswellin,
bromelain, omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids (fish oils), yucca,
manganese, and vitamins A, C, and E.
As a review, when buying glucosamine, look for a product that
1. is a liquid
2. uses pharmaceutical quality liquid glucosamine
3. has a number of other synergistic ingredients besides
glucosamine
After a review of the leading glucosamine products on the market
today, our current recommendation is Syn-flex, a 98% pure liquid
glucosamine formula that contains both glucosamine sulfate and
glucosamine HCL, chondroitin and eleven other synergistic
ingredients.
