Recent Studies Compare Long-Term Results of Glucosamine Supplements with NSAIDs

Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 08/06/2014 --Many joint pain patients around the globe are still suffering from the consequences of having the condition. As a matter of fact, 4 out of 10 individuals with moderate to severe chronic pain still have not achieved adequate pain relief. This is according to the survey sponsored by the American Academy of Pain Medicine, Janssen Pharmaceutica, and American Pain Society.

Due to the increasing number of people who are suffering from arthritic conditions, sufferers resort to a variety of treatment options to get pain relief. The most popular joint pain relief options are NSAIDs and glucosamine supplements. Both have been found effective in providing relief for joint pain sufferers. However, studies found that the long-term results of glucosamine supplements differ from NSAIDs.

Dr. Timothy McAlindon of the Arthritis Center, Boston University Medical Center said that glucosamine is widely available in many countries worldwide and it is probably the time for the medical profession to be open to the possibility that natural alternatives may have valuable therapeutic effects.

There have been many cases where individuals who claim to be sufferers of joint pain have testified about the efficacy of some glucosamine supplements. However, experts suggest that patients should rely on clinical studies, as well as product testimonies, to know whether glucosamine supplements are the right choice for them.

In a study conducted about natural supplements and drugs, it found that taking glucosamine sulfate can significantly decrease a sufferer’s risk to joint deterioration. Clinical trials showed that subjects on placebo experienced slight worsening in their joint pain symptoms, while those who took glucosamine sulfate did not experience joint-space loss.

Several studies also found that although NSAIDs can provide faster relief for pain, it is glucosamine supplements that offer long-term results. This claim is supported by studies that showed sufferers who took glucosamine sulfate have lesser possibility of needing joint surgery.

The efficacy of glucosamine supplements has led many joint pain sufferers to regain the quality of their lives and be free from the undesirable consequences of having arthritis-associated disabilities. Glucosamine supplements have been a great help for many individuals especially those who want to avoid surgical treatments.

Consumers are spoiled for choice with glucosamine supplements, as there are quite a number of brands available in the market. The VitaBreeze Glucosamine supplement is one of the few reliable brands and contains four powerful ingredients including glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin and turmeric. The VitaBreeze supplement is available exclusively on Amazon.com.
