This is a supplement that has been used for years. It is usually combined with chondroitin sulfate. Through the years glucosamine has been shown to relieve joint pain. Glucosamine is as effective as commonly used drugs as non steroidal like Advil ( or known as ibuprofen)
Glucosamine supports healthy cartilage and joint function. There are studies that show glucosamine eases joint medicines as good as conventional medicine. For me as an integrative cardiologist I want to mention that the regular use of glucosamine is associated with 22 % lower risk of cardiovascular death.
So many will ask what is the dose — I usually use 1,500 mg to 2,000 mg a day which is easily absorbed in the blood stream While most [people think of this supplement for joints, there are studies of a great benefit for the whole body.
Until tomorrow…
