Treating arthritis with liquid glucosamine.

Many people who are arthritis sufferers are finding that glucosamine products are able too ease their pain. It’s only recently that the west has caught on to the benefits of it for joint pain relief. but it’s powers have been known in the East for many, many years. If you are thinking of trying something like this as a treatment for arthritis or joint pain there are some things to consider before making your purchase.

Arthritis sufferers now have a new avenue of relief with glucosamine and chondroitin compounds. For the western world it is really a recent discovery, but it has been known throughout many parts of Asia for its ability to ease joint pain. Selecting a product of quality will take some care. What you will need to be on the lookout for?

You need to consider four factors for the best product.

You will need to consider the grade of the glucosamine, and it’s delivery system for your body, the other compounds included in the product and the cost of course. The most expensive supplements aren’t always the bests. I avoid all supplements that require joining MLM as there is a high mark up with their products. There are quality products available online that don’t require you to join any programs or go on autoship.

To get great benefit from the product you will need a high quality source of glucosamine. Medium grade is the choice of most companies, so you will need to research your products to find one that is of a pharmaceutical grade. This will give you the quickest and best relief. Not all supplements are created equal, and the reality is you are wasting your money and not getting any benefit by taking a below standard product.

Debate has raged over wether liquid or pills are better, research shows that liquid is more easily absorbed than pills. Pills can contain many binders and other ingredients and aren’t always easily absorbed. So for the best pain relief you will need liquid glucosamine, luckily there are a few quality products available online. I’ve tried the pills before and while I found some benefit from them, it wasn’t as good as the benefit I got from liquid glucosamine.

The other ingredients in your supplement are also crucial to getting the best results. The best products will contain things like Glucosamine HCL, Glucosamine Sulfate abd other arthritis relieving substances like boswellin, bromelain, chondroitin, yucca,omega3 &6, manganese ascorbate and vitamins A, C and E. these compounds will work together synergystically to relieve you of your pain.

I always look at the value of my choice closely. You will have a few products to choose from and you will have to consider the cost per day to get the same quality of product. I’ve bought pills that were more expensive and didn’t get the benefit I now get. There are also savings if you choose to buy more than 1 bottle with most companies. It’s always best to get more than one as it may take longer for some people for the product to work. Just be sure that all the ingredients listed above are contained in the liquid glucosamine product you choose.
