Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM - Do They Really Work for Arthritis?

 

Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM - Do They Work?

If you or a loved one has arthritis you've probably heard about Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM. They are the most common supplements purported to help rebuild joints and provide pain relief. They are much safer than the prescription medication that usually begin with a "Z" or end in "ex." But does glucosamine chondroitin msm actually help rebuild joints or provide any effective pain relief?

Glucosamine Sulfate (Sulphate)

Glucosamine Sulfate (sometimes called glucosamien sulphate) is a natural supplement that provides your body the raw materials to make joint cartilage. Glucosamine is a safe supplement, unlike prescription medications that have serious side effects and in the end actually harm your body and Joints! There are conflicting studies on the effectiveness of glucosamine, although from personal experience it does take at least 6 weeks for a noticeable improvement.

Glucosamine for Joint Pain Relief

Glucosamine for joint pain relief. Glucosamine Sulfate  not only helps give your body the raw materials to rebuild your joints but it also does provide mild pain relief. This does take some time with glucosamine by itself for joint pain relief, but if you stick with it, you will get some results. The good news is that you can combine it with other supplements that work synergistically (work even better together than separate). Let's look at the counterpart to glucosamine- chondroitin.

Does Glucosamine Have Any Side Effects?

Glucosamine side effects? Glucosamine Sulfate has no side effects and safe at almost any dosage. It is still wise to use it in a balanced formula as it works best as such. Your body will flush any glucosamine that it does not use.

Recommended Glucosamine Dosage

Glucosamine dosage: It is best to take about 500-1,000mg 2 to 3 times per day while rebuilding your joints and to reduce arthritis joint pain. Take it with your daily meals and it will be absorbed better.

Chondroitin Sulfate (Sulphate)

Chondroitin Sulfate is a negatively charged molecule that acts within the joint socket and is naturally attracted to joint surfaces. Chondroitin is a little more expensive than glucosamine, and does help rebuild the cartilage in the joints but not by itself! Glucosamine and Chrondroitin work best together. Chrondroitin really needs to be combined with glucosamine to have its effectiveness. It is a little more expensive than glucosamine, so it usually has a lower dosage when combined with it.

Does Chondroitin Have Any Side Effects?

Chondroitin side effects: Sulfate has no side effects and is pretty safe at any dosage. What your body does not use it will flush. That said proper balance is still suggested.

Glucosamine, Chondrotin Sulfate & MSM

Glucosamine Chondroitin Sulfate and MSM work by far the best in combination. Vitamin C also helps Chrondroitin MSM work even more effectively. And I do take the combination after I perform a heavy workout or am on my feet all day. I like to have all the advantages in living a quality of life, even in my later years. Mobility and presence of mind are very important to me.

Joint Kote provides all of the ingredients in an easy to use formula. This is by far the best all-in-one arthritis pain relief formula. It provides all the ingredients in the proper ratios and includes the MSM and Vitamin C that is so important. Even Cosamin, which is a really great arthritis product, misses out on this. You can add Vitamin C to Cosamin and it will be great. Joint Kote already has it though.

Decalcification

The main challenge with arthritis is to reduce the calcium deposits in your joints! This is what is actually causing the arthritis and inflammation not to mention the pain and immobility. Calcium does not bend, it only breaks. It is an excretion of parasitic organisms (bacteria, fungii, viruses, etc) and causes not only pain but inflammation and leads to other diseases.

I did not mention adding extra calcium to help your joints or bones? We have an overabundance of "junk" calcium, from supplements to added dead calcium to our food products. Ever look at an orange juice carton? Yes, added calcium.

Do skip on these things as well as calcium supplements in general. Get your calcium from the greens in food, living calcium. The dead calcium, like in coral calcium and tablets, will end up in your joints, arteries, lungs, organs and even your brain.

Magnesium is the exact opposite, it will make your bones stronger and liquefy the bad calcium right out of your body. You can find out more about decalcification and it's importance on dissolving the calcium and the arthritis right out of your whole body, including your joints, on the Arthritis Treatment page.
