Glucosamine Chondroitin Supplement
The body is able to use Glucosamine Chondroitin very well, and glucosamine can be found in the covering of shell fish, and chondroitin is found in shark or bovine cartilage. The glucosamine chondroitin supplement can be taken in powder, tablet or liquid form. This supplement is taken for joint care but is relatively expensive. Limited studies have shown that glucosamine and chondroitin do not help joint destruction or relieve pain. It is agreed that more long term studies need to be done in this area, as with most studies, they are limited to time frames and funding.
Glucosamine Chondroitin has mixed reviews from users of all age groups. At one time Glucosamine Chondroitin was the miracle supplement that promised to grow new cartilage in users who suffered from cartilage damage, and over use injuries from years of impact sport. And if you had joint pain then this was the supplement that you needed to take. Clinical tests were then conducted which showed there were no improvements in joint regeneration or cartilage repair when taking glucosamine chondroitin.
However many people swear by this product and it still has a huge following. One lady started giving her husband the supplement after he was limited to walking just 5 minutes per day. He was not aware his wife was giving him the supplement and as the weeks went on, the husband started to walk more and more until he no longer needed his walking to stick to get around. His wife then asked if he had noticed an improvement in his walking, to which he replied he hadn't really thought about it but yes he was walking better than he had done for years. The wife then told him about the supplement. The husband now notices in his joints when he forgets to take the supplement.
Still many people believe the benefits are all psychological.
