Glucosamine Chondroitin, MSM & SAM-e by Dee Cee Labs

Benefits of Glucosamine

Glucosamine is needed to form glycosaminoglycan and hyaluronic acid molecules which are the main constituents of joint cartilage. It is the joint cartilage that is damaged from osteoarthritis. Glucosamine sulfate may help protect joint cartilage by limiting the breakdown and helping to build up levels of cartilage.

Glucosamine has been shown to stimulate chondrocytes (cartilage cells) to support cartilage and collagen. Glucosamine also enters the joint space and is incorporated into proteoglycans, which are cells that form large structures and attract water to the joint space for lubrication of cartilage during movement. When you take a glucosamine supplement it may help to relieve the pain, stiffness, and swelling of osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disorder that affects 12% of the population. In addition, rheumatoid arthritis sufferers also report improvements with glucosamine supplements.

There is no natural food source of glucosamine, however, the shells of crabs, shrimp and oysters do contain it, and this is the source of most of the dietary supplements.

Benefits of Chondroitin Sulfate

Studies have shown that chondroitin sulfate supplements appears to block the enzymes that can destroy essential cartilage tissue. Chondroitin has become a popular dietary supplement for the treatment of osteoarthritis because combined with glucosamine it has been shown to be very effective. In fact, some studies point out that it is as effective as aspirin and other NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) at relieving arthritis pains and of course with much less risk of causing stomach bleeding or ulcer formation. Thousands of people die a year from taking these NSAID medications (such as Advil and Nuprin).

In the mid-1990s, scientists discovered that chondroitin is actually well absorbed and because of promising follow-up research in people suffering from osteoarthritis both the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism were prompted to recommend chondroitin in their published guidelines for osteoarthritis treatment. Both chondroitin and glucosamine are much safer to take than medications such as aspirin or NSAIDs.

Benefit of MSM in Joint Health

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) supplements have been shown to help strengthen joints, improve blood flow and mobility. Many people with arthritis have found that taking MSM combined with herbal remedies and their medication is more effective than taking their medicine alone. Many studies have revealed that MSM combined with Glucosamine and Chondroitin works great for those suffering with joint pain.

SAM-e Research for Joint Discomfort

A report issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality concludes that SAM-e is effective for joint discomfort. The Arthritis Foundation, a mainstream advocacy group, recently said its medical experts were satisfied that SAMe provides pain relief but not that it contributes to joint health.

The evidence that SAM-e can repair cartilage is admittedly preliminary, but it's intriguing. When German researchers gave 21 patients either SAMe or a placebo for three months, using MRI scans to monitor the cartilage in their hands, the SAM-e recipients showed measurable improvements. Entitled 'S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine for Treatment of Depression, Osteoarthritis, and Liver Disease,' the report conducted a search of the published literature on the use of SAM-e within several areas and, on the basis of that search, evaluated the evidence for the efficacy of SAM-e. Of the studies measured, 10 were included in a meta-analysis of the efficacy of SAM-e to decrease joint discomfort. The data indicated that SAM-e is more effective than placebo and that it was shown to be equivalent to standard therapy, according to the scientific review.
