JOINT REPAIR VEGAN provides one of the salt forms of the amino sugar glucosamine, which is a constituent of cartilage proteoglycans. Glucosamine is required for the synthesis of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycosaminoglycans (also known as ucopolysaccharides). These carbohydrate-containing compounds are found in tendons, ligaments, cartilage, synovial fluid, mucous membranes, structures in the eye, blood vessels, and heart valves. Glucosamine has been shown to stimulate metabolism of chondrocytes in the articular cartilage and synovial cells in the synovial tissues.†
Clinical trials show that orally taking glucosamine sulfate significantly improves symptoms of pain and improves joint function compared to placebo in patients experiencing knee pain and stiffness. Glucosamine sulfate supplementation has been shown to decrease pain Scores by about 28% to 41% and improve joint functionality scores by 21% to 46%.
Some clinical studies have shown that glucosamine sulfate is comparable to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen for relief of joint discomfort. Although NSAIDs medications can have a faster pain-relieving effect, there are potential side effects of those medications. Other clinical research shows that glucosamine sulfate at a dose of 1500 mg once daily for 6 months might be more effective than acetaminophen 1 gram 3 times daily for reducing symptoms in patients with moderate joint discomfort of the knee.†
The available evidence from these studies suggests that glucosamine sulfate may be effective and safe in delaying the progression and improving the symptoms of joint pain, stiffness, and dysfunction.†
Warnings: Taking glucosamine alone or in combination with chondroitin might increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin (Coumadin) and increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. Patients taking warfarin should be advised to avoid or use glucosamine cautiously.†
