(Health-NewsWire.Net, September 01, 2015 ) Orlando, Florida -- NSAIDs are pain relief drugs that are widely used by sufferers of arthritic conditions such as osteoarthritis. However, due to the increasing number of people who are suffering from side effects associated with pain relief drug use, more and more people are turning to natural alternatives such as glucosamine and chondroitin. A study led by the University of Maryland suggests that sufferers who use these natural alternatives may potentially be on the right track towards having an improved quality of life.
A double-blind study recently published in the January 2015 online issue of Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases revealed that glucosamine and chondroitin had comparable efficacy to a popular pain relief drug in reducing pain, stiffness, functional limitation and joint swelling in patients with painful knee osteoarthritis.
Supplements are widely used by many sufferers in their diet to ease arthritis pain. In addition to using glucosamine and chondroitin, there are people who also use Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which is a supplement that is also believed to offer pain relief.
"Nowadays, some of the best herbal supplement manufacturers offer glucosamine supplements that also contain chondroitin and MSM," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
According to experts, glucosamine and chondroitin are the building blocks of the cartilage, and they seem to encourage the body to produce more cartilage. There have been multiple other studies that indicate the two therapeutic ingredients are beneficial for individuals who suffer from osteoarthritis pain, due to cartilage breakdown. They are believed to not just provide pain relief, but possibly slow down cartilage breakdown in individuals who suffer from osteoarthritis. However, most of the studies focused only on osteoarthritis in the knee.
It is believed that it can take around four to six weeks of glucosamine use before sufferers can see some noticeable improvements.
Glucosamine supplements that also contain other therapeutic ingredients such as chondroitin, MSM, and turmeric are believed to be more beneficial. Consumers often purchase these ingredients in a combined supplement for convenience (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
