Glucosamine for arthritis is currently the most popular nutritional approach for that health concern. Many double-blind studies have proven glucosamine produces better results for osteoarthritis than NSAIDs (aspirin, Celebrex, Ibuprofen, etc.) or acetaminophen.
Glucosamine for Arthritis 51.7% Cure Rate
In the following study, 60 knee osteoarthritis patients underwent two 6 week treatments with 1500 mg. a day of glucosamine for knee pain and mobility issues. Their knee degenerative osteoarthritis (DOA) was scored before and after the treatments. All 60 patients finished the treatments. Clinical symptoms for knee degenerative osteoarthritis disappeared completely in 31 cases and subsided in 27 cases; the cure rate was 51.7% and the total response rate was 96.7%.
The researchers concluded:
“Glucosamine hydrochloride can cure knee DOA with symptom-relieving and joint function-improving action.”
