Joint stiffness and pain affects approximately 50 million Americans, mostly age 40 and up, making it one of the most prevalent uncured disease in America. When cartilage becomes worn, exposed bones can rub together and the painful symptoms of osteoarthritis may appear. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint, including those throughout the spine. Conventional medicine, that uses drug therapy to control pain, does not yet have a proven treatment to stop or slow the progression of osteoarthritis. These treatments are sometimes disappointing for both the physicians and patients because medications may not provide complete relief and can have unwanted side effects. Glucosamine Sulfate has been used and studied in Europe and Asia for over 40 years. This research indicates that Glucosamine Sulfate may help to rebuild damaged cartilage and deteriorating joints, and to improve joint lubrication. In one of these double-blind clinical trials, it was found to ease the aches and pains of arthritis sufferers as well as the standard painkillers used for treatment. This is very significant when one considers that ibuprofen and acetaminophen can cause stomach upset, ulcers, and even kidney and liver damage. Further, these medications provide only temporary benefits in pain relief and inflammation yet may actually complicate the condition in the long-term.
The body uses Glucosamine Sulfate, a natural compound, to stimulate cells to create one of the main building blocks of joint cartilage, proteoglycans. As you age, the amount of Glucosamine created by the body decreases. The result? Cartilage and bones begin to scrape against each other, joints become damaged, and the lubricating synovial fluid in joint spaces becomes thin and watery. Glucosamine Sulfate may help stop, and even reverse, the damages done to joints by age. To ensure effective absorption and tissue utilization, it's highly recommended that you take Glucosamine in the sulfate form. This is the way Glucosamine is found in the body, and it lacks any known toxicity. Scientific studies clearly show that Glucosamine Sulfate is better utilized than any other form of this nutrient.
Glucosamine Sulfate appears to be very safe, with virtually no known side effects. New research suggests that Glucosamine Sulfate may actually help damaged tissue repair itself and numerous double-blind studies have shown Glucosamine Sulfate to produce better results than traditional therapies, without the risks. Glucosamine Sulfate, by Olympian Labs, is a well-tolerated natural approach to osteoarthritis and its symptoms. The benefits of Glucosamine Sulfate include joint flexibility, increased range of motion and decreased joint discomfort.
