The randomized test was carried out on 40 patients with knee osteoarthrosis who were given either 1.5 g of glucosamine sulfate or 1.2 g of ibuprofen. Both groups showed a reduction in pain, with those using glucosamine showing marked improvement by week eight. A medical study, conducted on 30 people suffering from osteoarthrosis, revealed the long-lasting effects of glucosamine. The patients took 400 mg of glucosamine sulfate for one week, then one group took glucosamine capsules while the other group took a placebo for the following two weeks. Researchers discovered that those who remained on glucosamine for the entire period improved dramatically, while those taken off the glucosamine regressed, but not to pre-treatment level.
