(Medical-NewsWire.com, January 21, 2015 ) Portland, Oregon -- Many in the medical community discount the innate abilities of glucosamine supplements as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and component of joint health. That viewpoint is in direct opposition to the millions of people who have made glucosamine the second most popular dietary supplement on the market.
"Those in medical professions tend to minimalize the impact that a non-pharmaceutical can impart," said VitaBreeze spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
"Glucosamine is often placed in the same category as herbal remedies and old wives' tales. Glucosamine supplements do work and there's a mountain of scientific evidence and consumer testimonies to back that up."
Glucosamine is a bio-chemical the body manufactures naturally. It's found in cartilage and fluid that surrounds joints. The body must maintain sufficient levels to effectively produce and repair cartilage, but as people age they manufacture less of the needed nutrient. A glucosamine supplement provides a readily available source of the chemical that can be utilized immediately.
The bio-chemical has multiple functions within the body. It has been shown to be a natural anti-inflammatory and also a powerful antioxidant that works to neutralize free radicals that contribute to aging and damaging cells. Arthritis is the number one cause of disability and can severely impact quality of life. It is a primary reason why glucosamine supplements are so popular.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has determined that arthritis is a symptom associated with more than 150 medical conditions and diseases. Traditionally, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are prescribed to relieve pain, but they have multiple disadvantages.
NSAID medications can exacerbate arthritis and people need increasingly stronger doses to achieve the same level of relief. The pharmaceuticals treat symptoms, but not the underlying cause of pain. They have potentially deadly consequences, prompting the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue stringent safety warnings about their long-term use.
Numerous scientific studies have been conducted on the efficacy of glucosamine supplements. Research has demonstrated that a glucosamine supplement has a wide range of applications and is especially effective for conditions in which joint pain is a major component. It's just one of the many reasons that consumers have made glucosamine the second most popular supplement around the globe (www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
