(Health-NewsWire.Net, September 17, 2015 ) Orlando, Florida -- Runners are almost always susceptible to injury, and this is due to the constant and intense activity they are engaged in. In addition to having a healthy diet, many runners are resorting to natural supplements to strengthen their joint cartilage.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are believed to be helpful for knee pain. These two ingredients are very popular among individuals who suffer from arthritis. Sufferers believe that they have the ability to reduce pain and improve their mobility at the same time. Surprisingly, the natural alternative is working for many people.
According to estimates, the worldwide sales of supplements that contain glucosamine and chondroitin could potentially reach $2 billion now. This is possibly because the natural alternative is believed to be a safer remedy for pain relief drugs, which are associated with side effects.
"The combination of these ingredients has long been believed to help improve joint cartilage health," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Knee pain is very prevalent among runners, and when pain strikes, many of them turn to glucosamine and chondroitin. There are also those who take the natural alternatives on a daily basis. Runnersworld.com has recently had internet poll that revealed 94.5 percent of respondents claimed they had tried either or both glucosamine or chondroitin.
According to 79.8 percent of the respondents, their symptoms have improved after taking the two therapeutic ingredients. Due to intense and regular movements, the articular cartilage in the joints of runners and other athletes wear away, and this results in pain and inflammation.
A meta-analysis of studies involving glucosamine and chondroitin for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis was conducted. The analysis was published in the July 2003 issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine. According to the researchers, studies demonstrate the highly significant efficacy of glucosamine on joint space narrowing and all outcomes.
Another glucosamine study involved Navy SEALS with an average age of 43. It was found that the participants who took the supplements experienced relief from knee osteoarthritis. There are actually many other studies conducted to explore more of the benefits offered by glucosamine and chondroitin.
Today, glucosamine supplements are widely available in the international market. There are highly popular supplements used by arthritis sufferers and athletes such as runners, and they are those that contain not just glucosamine and chondroitin, but also MSM and turmeric. The combination of these four natural and therapeutic ingredients makes them a powerful remedy for pain and inflammation (www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
