Many patients are quickly becoming aware of the significant benefits of taking Glucosamine for relieving the chronic pain of arthritis.
Glucosamine comes in both the sulfate and the HCl form.
There is overwhelming evidence to suggest that the sulfate form is superior to the HCl form. These drugs are very effective for acute inflammatory response. However, long term use can cause significant stomach and gastric distress, and possible liver and kidney involvement. Glucosamine doesn't replace these drugs, but is an adjunct therapy recommended for long term use. I've received dozens of positive testimonials on the effectiveness of Glucosamine.
