Glucosamine is produced within the body to help joints and ligaments perform correctly. With age, glucosamine production decreases, which may cause the cartilage in joints to deteriorate. This deterioration of cartilage can cause bone spurs that may cause pain, deformed joints and limited joint movement.
Many tests have shown glucosamine to be effective at:
- Easing osteoarthritis pain
- Easing articular joint pain
- Slowing deterioration of cartilage from osteoarthritisImproving mobility
- Production of glucosamine in the supplement form is growing in popularity due to a large aging population.
However, many supplement companies skimp on the best forms of glucosamine and instead produce pill forms of glucosamine that are not very effective. According to the online Arthritis and Glucosamine Resource Center there are several important factors to consider when selecting a glucosamine supplement including:
- Amount of glucosamine per serving
- Type of glucosamine
- Quality of ingredients
- Delivery system
- Synergistic ingredients
The website also states that studies have found the best form of glucosamine supplementation to be liquid because it absorbs at a rate of 80 to 85 percent, which is much higher than the absorption rate of glucosamine in pill form. In addition, supplementing with high quality, liquid glucosamine may produce results in as little as 7-14 days, whereas other forms may take up to 10 weeks to produce results.
