Many patients frequently ask whether glucosamine sulphate can help relieve the pain associated\u00a0with arthritis. Glucosamine sulphate is one of the components needed in the formation of normal\u00a0joint (articular) cartilage. Articular cartilage is the smooth, pearly like substance which lines the\u00a0bony ends of most joints. Normal cartilage helps to relieve and distribute stresses evenly through\u00a0the joint. It assists with joint nutrition and aids the many joints in our body to move freely and\u00a0smoothly without pain. When this cartilage begins to wear down we begin to notice pain and\u00a0increased stiffness in our joints. Glucosamine sulphate has been suggested to help rebuild lost\u00a0cartilage and hence reduce the pain associated with arthritis.<\/p>\n
In a recently published study, 212 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned\u00a01500mg of oral glucosamine or placebo (e.g. salt tablets), once daily for three years. The long\u00a0term follow up of these patients after three years revealed that those individuals who were on glucosamine\u00a0had a significant reduction in pain, while the placebo group (those not taking glucosamine)\u00a0actually became slightly worse over time.<\/p>\n
