Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin is naturally found in our cartilage, tendons, and ligaments
where it binds to proteins like collagen and elastin. It is partially
responsible for the strength, flexibility, and shock absorption in our
joints. It provides both structure and lubrication (through water
retention) within our joints. It is for these reasons that chondroitin has
become a popular dietary supplement used in the treatment of
osteoarthritis. Some studies indicate that chondroitin is as effective as
aspirin and other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) at
relieving arthritic pain; additionally, it has the added advantage of
being side-effect free unlike its chemically based counterparts.
Chondroitin is well-absorbed by the body and has demonstrated positive
results in osteoarthritis sufferers. Many researchers agree that
chondroitin taken in combination with glucosamine sulfate or glucosamine
hydrochloride is more beneficial and studies seem to back up this
assertion.
Glucosamine
"Supplements such as glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate
may actually help restore damaged tissue structure in joints, perhaps
because these two substances are natural constituents of healthy
cartilage." Andrew Weil, M.D.
Glucosamine is a
naturally ocurring protein sugar found in the body. It stimulates the
formation and repair of cartilage. Due to the fact that natural levels of
glucosamine decline with age, many people benefit from supplementation of
synthetically formulated glucosamine products often derived from sea
creatures. Clinical studies are numerous and results clearly show that
slow and steady intake of glucosamine (often in combination with other
substances such as chondroitin and MSM), particularly for conditions such
as osteoarthritis, can halt the progression of degenerative joint
disorders, and may, in some cases, even reverse the diseases.
