Glucosamine has been shown in clinical study after clinical
study to be effective at easing discomfort in those suffering
from joint pain and promoting healthy cartilage. In ongoing
clinical trials, glucosamine is showing great promise for
its ability to promote joint health and put the spring back
in your step. These studies show that Glucosamine is a safe
and effective natural supplement that is better for the body
than NSAIDS such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Best of all, glucosamine
lacks the long term detrimental effects so common with NSAIDS.
But you already knew that. You just want to figure out how
to find the best glucosamine product out there. Let's go over
some important criteria.
So You Want to Evaluate a Glucosamine
Product?
Not all glucosamine products are created equal. In order to
best evaluate a product, you need to consider seven things.
When your healthcare and joint discomfort is at stake, take
a moment and consider these criteria: What form is the glucosamine
in? What is the total daily dose? Are there any other ingredients?
What type is the glucosamine? How pure are the ingredients?
What is the total cost? How is the product administered?
The form the glucosamine comes in is critical.
There are three ways to get glucosamine into your system.
Oral (e.g. Liquid), direct IV (into the vein) and intramuscular
injection. Unless you really love daily needles, the oral
option is going to be your best bet. Oral methods provide
the best absorption and gives you the maximum dosage as compared
to pills. Your choice of delivery method can mean
all of the difference. If you want maximum absorption,
the quickest effects and the best results, make sure the glucosamine
product you are using is a liquid and not a pill. In addition,
be especially aware of any kind of glucosamine cream based
product. They may be a waste of money, as there is very little
clinical evidence that glucosamine can even be absorbed through
the skin.
The dose size is the next important thing.
Almost every clinical study used at least 1,000 mg
of Glucosamine, and the majority of glucosamine products on
the market today contain at least 1,000 mg per dose. It is
true, liquid provides the best absorption when compared to
pills, and we suggest you find a product that contains at
least 1,000 mg of liquid glucosamine. If you choose a liquid
product (as you should) then the dose should be 1/4 fl oz
per day.
Other synergistic ingredients are important.
Glucosamine alone will provide some relief from discomfort,
but look for products that contain other synergistic ingredients
that work with the glucosamine to maximize your relief. If
you suffer from arthritis, glucosamine is the “heavy
hitter” joint discomfort relief, ensure that you are
getting as many “helper” ingredients as you possibly
can, for a reasonable cost.
Because science has not decided which type
is the most effective (or if there is any difference at all),
make sure you are getting both Glucosamine Sulfate and Glucosamine
HCL to maximize your benefits from the two types. There may
even be more benefits from getting both rather than risking
getting the “wrong” type.
Make sure you are getting high quality liquid
glucosamine. Do not settle for anything less. If the manufacturer
does not prominently state the quality of their glucosamine,
go elsewhere and fast.
The cost is another important consideration.
The best products are going to be in the $30 to $40 a month
range but remember that is for a FULL 32 days. Be particularly
weary of products that claim to be cheaper than this but DO
NOT give you your full month. This is more true with pills,
where you commonly can get 60 pills but need to take 4 a day
to get the “labeled dose” of Glucosamine, which
again is not even really the full amount you would get with
a liquid. If you are paying more than $2 a dose (for a
1,500 mg of Glucosamine and other synergistic ingredients),
you are paying way too much. Some of the best liquid products
cost about a dollar a day.
The method of administration is important.
You already know why, with glucosamine, pills are not a good
option and why liquids are superior. With some products, liquids
can be difficult to administer. Not anymore. Flexicose makes it effortless
to measure out the proper dose. Flexicose is one of the few
liquid glucosamine products on the market that has a built
in measuring cup. You really should see how this bottle works.
Simply squeeze the bottle and the proper dose is dispensed.
Plus, Flexicose contains 1,500 mg of superior quality liquid
glucosamine sulfate and HCl (highly recommended) and an 12
additional synergistic ingredients at a very affordable cost
(under $0.90 per day.) You can learn more about Flexicose or purchase it here: www.flexicose.com.
