Glucosamine Aids Joint Problems
by Steven Sonmore, L.Ac.
As
a practicing acupuncturist, I have witnessed how acupuncture has
conquered painful joint problems such as tennis elbow. In addition,
I recommend using glucosamine to speed recovery.
Glucosamine is a natural product (made from the shells of shellfish
or refined from corn) that has been shown to be extremely beneficial
for joint pain. Glucosamine stimulates cartilage cells to synthesize
glucosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, which are responsible for
maintaining your body's joints. Proteoglycans are a mesh-like tissue
that permits cartilage to flex and absorb physical shock. Glucosamine
appears to also inhibit the production of Chondrocytes, enzymes
that break down and destroy cartilage. For over 20 years, glucosamine
has been clinically proven to ease joint pain, rejuvenate the synovial
fluid and promote healthy and flexible joints.
By adding glucosamine to your life, you are helping your body
help itself. In effect, you are lubricating your joints with glucosamine
and continually bathing your joints in a healthy, protective fluid
that goes to work building glucosaminoglycans and proteoglycans,
which repair and rebuild your worn joints and leading, ultimately,
to a newer, healthier you.
Because you can't live without it, when it comes to the single most
important thing in your life - your body - many believe that you should be
treating yourself to the best and most effective product out there. Learn
