Is Glucosamine Sulphate right for me?

Glucosamine Sulphate supplements are typically completely safe for most people to use at a sensible dose. Those in their mid-20s and onwards can view taking glucosamine as a maintenance and preventative measure to ensure their joints remain healthy and flexible, while helping to prevent and possibly avoid the onset of osteoarthritis in later life. Glucosamine sulphate is also useful for people over the age of 30 to help reduce any joint pain that may be caused by injuries and accidents and most importantly, the general wear and tear that the cartilage is beginning to tackle.

Anyone in their later life will benefit from glucosamine sulphate to help repair any damage that may have occurred in the joints and help to slow down the progression of osteoarthritis. If already suffering from painful joint damage caused by osteoarthritis, then glucosamine can be taken to ease the mild to moderate pain and inflammation, while helping to repair cartilage and maintain healthy cartilage.

Glucosamine sulphate supplements are particularly beneficial considering that glucosamine is naturally produced in the body; however this production begins to significantly slow down as we age, meaning that we need to provide it in some other form. Other than nutritional supplements, our body’s natural production is our only source of glucosamine (there are no food sources of glucosamine), so when our body reduces this production we need to provide it ourselves through supplementation.

Other conditions that may benefit from glucosamine sulphate include:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Asthma
  • Allergies
  • Sports injuries
  • Chronic venous insufficiency
  • Temporomandibular joint problems (TMJ)
  • Chronic lower back pain
