The complete combination is designed for people who are athletes or perform regular sporting activities that actively use their joints and need to maintain joint health. The role of Glucosamine & Chondroitin sulphate as research suggests, helps to support the surrounding structures that make up joint and cartilage, by feeding connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and muscle with Glucosamine and Chondroitin will help to strengthen overall joint health.The body's ability to manufacture Glucosamine naturally appears to decline with age, this is a reason for supplementation to be necessary regardless if you are young or old in order to support joint health at all times.

What is the most important information I should know about glucosamine?

Glucosamine has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or purity. All potential risks and/or advantages of glucosamine may not be known. Additionally, there are no regulated manufacturing standards in place for these compounds. There have been instances where herbal/health supplements have been sold which were contaminated with toxic metals or other drugs.

What is glucosamine?

The use of glucosamine in cultural and traditional settings may differ from concepts accepted by current Western medicine. When considering the use of herbal/health supplements, consultation with a primary health care professional is advisable. Additionally, consultation with a practitioner trained in the uses of herbal/health supplements may be beneficial, and coordination of treatment among all health care providers involved may be advantageous.

Glucosamine is also known as chitosamine.

Glucosamine has been used for the alleviation of the symptoms of arthritis.

It has been reported that glucosamine may be involved in the production of cartilage that is important for healthy joints.

Is Glucosamine taking a new direction?

Is Glucosamine taking a new direction?

By J. R. Rogers


Recently, I have been doing some extra research. And of course, there are always those who want to offer up their opinions whether they are warranted or not. At least, that is what I found in doing some of this extra reading.

Glucosamine has over a thirty-year history of success in clinical trials. And, there is no doubt in my mind that it is decidedly the best choice for those who suffer from Osteoarthritis. The most recent clinical studies have once again confirmed that fact. And, when adding other ingredients to enhance the performance of Glucosamine it is an unbeatable combination.

By now, most of you know that prescription arthritis drugs have been removed from the market because of safety concerns. And, even over-the-counter pain remedies are coming under serious government scrutiny because of the same safety issues. For me, there is no doubt that Glucosamine is the winner across the board for pain relief and from a safety standpoint. And, that ignores the fact that it even rehabilitates damaged cartilage.

New studies

I mention this report because it has some correlation to the pain of OA. Namely, when there is pain there is generally inflammation as well. This study deals with the same issue.

Researchers from the Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University (and, the Hospital for Neuroscience) conducted some studies and concluded that the anti-inflammatory qualities of Glucosamine (may) aid those who suffer from MS. Now, although they were quick to say that they felt this was a result of the anti-inflammatory qualities of Glucosamine and that it should be used with conventional therapies used for MS, it also tells us that the ability of Glucosamine to fight inflammation is very high.

MS is thought to be an autoimmune disorder. If you have read my columns, you know that this is a situation where the body attacks its own tissue. In the case of MS sufferers, it coatings of the nerve fibers become inflamed and scarred.

This study group was composed of mice. Of course, the earliest clinical studies of Glucosamine also used animals as the target of their research. The broad results that the study reported were that there was less inflammation in those given Glucosamine.

So, what does all this mean?

I have recommended the use of high-quality liquid Glucosamine for many years for those who suffer from OA. I want to be quick to say that I do not recommend it for other medical disorders. But, this study confirms that the anti-inflammatory qualities of Glucosamine are real and not a figment of anyone’s imagination. Certainly, over thirty year of research say that is so.

Again, I am always finding a few ‘writers’ who are quick to criticize anything that is not provided by large pharmaceutical companies and the doctors they push to promote their products. I can only conclude that they might pay more attention to how much good the less expensive Glucosamine does for the public instead of trying to find ways to leave questions in the minds of those who use it.

If you suffer from Osteoarthritis, stay with the program. And, use only the highest quality product you can find.

See you next time.

Are there different types of Glucosamine?

Are there different types of Glucosamine?

There are Five different types of Glucosamine:

1. D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCl)
2. D-Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl
3. D-Glucosamine Sulphate NaCl
4. N-acetyl-glucosamine (NAG)
5. Poly N-acetyl-glucosamine (Poly NAG)

Note: The correct technical name for Glucosamine is "D-Glucosamine" (except for no 4 and 5 above)

Which one is best if I have an allergy to shellfish?

1. D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCL) is definitely the best! (Ref 5)

Why? All other types are manufactured from shellfish source (Shrimp, crab and lobster) Shellfish source glucosamine may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. (Ref 2)

Without wishing to complicate matters, D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCL) is also manufactured from shellfish; however, it's synthesised from a protein taken from shellfish. Generally speaking, shellfish allergy is caused by other constituents within the shellfish, not the protein! D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCL) is synthesised from the protein therefore it's considered to be much safer than the sulphate versions, especially for people who have a shellfish allergy.

I don't have a shellfish allergy!

If you don't have a shellfish allergy you may also consider either:

D-Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl

Or, D-Glucosamine Sulphate NaCl

D-Glucosamine Sulphate has to be stabilised with one of two mineral salts, KCl (Potassium Chloride), or NaCl (Sodium Chloride salt)

The use of Potassium Chloride (KCl) as a stabiliser is preferable because the average Western diet already has far too much salt (NaCl) and not enough potassium (KCl)

So the best of the two Sulphate varieties is:

D-Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl

(See important note on purity further below)

Moving on lets look at the other types of Glucosamine - these are:

N-acetyl-glucosamine (NAG)

Another possible alternative is N-acetyl-glucosamine (NAG) however, NAG differs from D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride and D-Glucosamine Sulphate; instead of a sulphur or chloride molecule, NAG has a larger, more complex molecule attached to it. As a result, NAG is an entirely different molecule and appears to be handled quite differently by the body.

Studies have demonstrated that NAG is inferior to other forms of glucosamine in terms of absorption and utilization.

Poly-N-acetyl-glucosamine (Poly NAG)

A recent human study compared the absorption of NAG to a long chain of NAG molecules (POLY-Nag). Results showed that orally ingested NAG and POLY-Nag are absorbed and increase the blood levels of NAG, with both forms yielding similar results. In addition, there was some conversion of both molecules to glucosamine. However, the degree of conversion resulted in lower blood glucosamine levels compared to D-Glucosamine Sulphate and D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride, both of which are absorbed extremely well.

Studies have demonstrated that Poly NAG is inferior to other forms of glucosamine in terms of absorption and utilization.

Purity - All Glucosamines!

Some suppliers, particularly those on the internet, are claiming 99.99% purity for all types of Glucosamine. This shows a basic ignorance of the nutrient!

Generally speaking, Glucosamine comes from shellfish source, and (except for D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCl)), has to be stabilised with a percentage of either Potassium Chloride (KCl) or Sodium Chloride NaCl. Therefore the percentage of Glucosamine is generally around the 99% mark and this is quite acceptable however, they should not contain hormones or other impurities.
