MSM & Glucosamine Sulphate Glucosamine sulphate is reported to be a safe and effective aid to recovery for osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is said to stimulate cartilage cells to synthesise glycosaminoglycans and protoglycans. It is reported to have a beneficial effect on inflammation, mechanical arthritis and immunological-reactive arthritis. In the short term, Glucosamine has been reported to be effective in relieving pain and increasing range of motion in patients with osteoarthritis. In a four week double blind trial in 200 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, Glucosamine sulphate was found to be as effective in relieving symptoms as lbuprofen and other pain killers. Though some gastrointestinal discomfort has been reported in some patients, the percentage is said to be very low. Apart from that no untoward side effects have been recorded during trials. MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) is said to be beneficial in physiological symptoms of stress gastro-intestinal upset, inflammation of mucus membranes and inflammatory disorders including arthritis. MSM is also reported to increase mobility in joints and to increase flexibility in muscles. The combination of Glucosamine Sulphate and MSM is therefore thought to be a valuable aid for arthritis and general pain relief. |
