Liquid Glucosamine: 7 Facts You Should Know

Many times when we search for arthritis products to help us with arthritis pain relief we'll find a ton of different products on the shelves. When searching on the internet, you're probably overwhelmed with every arthritis product available.  We would like to share with you something we learned way back in 1998.

1998 is the year we discovered a product called Body Balance and OsteoProCare. Both products are liquid and both products are extremely popular today. Why?

People don't like to pop pills and people are starting to get educated on the absorption factor when you compare liquid glucosamine to pills or capsules. In my humble opinion if you can get a liquid nutritional product, you get it as fast as possible.

Does that mean pills are worthless?  No really, just understand that only 15-25% of any pill or capsule will be absorbed by the body.  That simply depends on the binders that are contained within the pill to keep it looking pretty.

Heck we even recommend one arthritis product called zymosine because of the results we have witnessed with different arthritis sufferers.  However, most of our friends who have joint pain, rely on liquid glucosamine.  Let's learn about liquid glucosamine below.

Liquid Glucosamine Fact #1.  Glucosamine is produced naturally by our body. 

The unfortunate fact is all of age.  With age, different aspects of our body start to produce less amounts. Glucosamine which is produced by our body also declines it's production. Liquid glucosamine is an excellent product for arthritis pain because it can help replenish the glucosamine levels in our body.  

Liquid Glucosamine Fact #2.  Liquid glucosamine is essential to producing the nutrients we need to produce synovial fluid. Synovial fluid lubricates our cartilage and maintains healthy joints. If you ever feel your joints stiff, creeking, rubbing, etc. it could be from a loss of snovial production.

Liquid Glucosamine Fact #3.  Especially in people who are extremely active, when your body cannot replace the glucosamine the following will occur:

• hardening of cartilage
• bone spurs
• joint deformities
• limited range of motion (flexibility)
• the above could lead to osteoarthritis

Liquid Glucosamine Fact #4. There are many different grades of glucosamine ranging from low to high grade.  The majority of glucosamine is found in powder or pill form which means your digestive system needs to break it down before it can be absorbed.

Liquid glucosamine does not need to be broken down therefore it is readily absorbed. Basically the absorption process will begin in your mouth, before it even hits your tummy.

Liquid Glucosamine Fact #5. Glucosamine when combined with other arthritis ingredients produces a synergistic effect. Just like calcium, when you add magnesium calcium can be absorbed much easier. Magnesium acts as a carrier to transport calcuim across the cell membrane.

Liquid Glucosamine Fact #6. How much liquid glucosamine should a person consume on a daily basis?  Most of the reports I have read, at least 1250 mg to 1500 mg per day is a sufficient dosage.

Liquid Glucosamine Fact #7. Bottom line, if you suffer from arthritis or joint pain it would be best to find a product that contains liquid glucosamine and the following ingredients:

• omega 3
• omega 6
• vitamin A,C,E
• Boswellin
• Bromelain
• Shark Cartilage
• Chondroitin Sulfate
• Manganese Ascorbate
• Yucca

Why are these ingredients so important?

Shark Cartilage: studies have shown that shark cartilage (chondroitin Sulfate ) helps improve glucosamine absorption.

Chondroitin Sulfate: helps attract nutrients into your cartilage by helping increase the "flow" of liquid across cell membraines. Think of it as a sponge.  When a sponge is dry it hard and brittle, but when you add water it expands and becomes extremely flexible.  Make sense?

Manganese Ascorbate:  is a mineral that turbo charges the effectiveness of chondroitin and glucosamine. It also improves the immune system.

Yucca: has anti-inflammatory properties and acts as a blocker to toxins released by the digestive system that could harm function of cartilage. Most important, yucca has long history of easing stiff joints which result in joint pain.

Bromelain: acts like aspirin but is not aspirin. It will help in reducing pain and swelling.

Omega 3 & 6: they act as anti-inflammatory agents and both can help reduce joint inflammation.  Omega 3's are best found in fish and omega 6's are commonly found in vegetable oil.  The western diet is very high in omega 6's so one should watch carefully what they eat. Fried foods are probably something you should stay away from.

Boswellin:  will improve the blood flow to your joints, help maintain healthy blood vessels and can help reduce swelling in joints that are stiff

Vitamin A is important for growth and repair of soft tissue, aids in bone formation and helps slow down deterioration.

Vitamin C much has been written on vitamin C and how it improves our immune system. It is a antioxidant that is required for the production of collagen and collegan helps build and repair body tissue.

Vitamin E is also an antioxidant that protects red blood cells and helps maintain healthy membrane tissue.

As you can see, all these ingredients work together to assist in joint health. Working as a team is the absolute best way to repair and maintain healthy joints and stave off arthritis and joint pain.  Liquid glucosamine is superior to pills and capsules because it is easily absorbed.

One side effect of liquid glucosamine is the taste. Some people enjoy the taste, others must mix it with juice and others suck it up and drink it fast. Over the years we have acquired a taste for liquid nutritional products and have found them to be much easier to swallow than pills/capsules.
