(Medical-NewsWire.com, September 09, 2014 ) Portland, Oregon -- Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that affects every part of the joint, from the bone to the surrounding soft tissues. As bone and soft tissues deteriorate, individuals experience an increasing amount of pain and stiffness. There's currently no cure for OA, but many individuals are experiencing relief through the use of a glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and turmeric dietary supplement.
"Glucosamine is a chemical that the body naturally produces," said VitaBreeze spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan. "It's one of the building blocks of joint health. Nothing can reverse osteoarthritis, but a glucosamine supplement can significantly ease the pain from inflammation and swelling and help consumers maintain their range of motion."
Numbers compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate 26.9 million adults in the U.S. have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. It's most common in the knees, but also affects the hips, spine and hands. Osteoarthritis takes a physical and emotional toll on those who have it, often requiring significant lifestyle changes.
Traditional treatment for osteoarthritis consists of palliative measures to make individuals comfortable, relieve symptoms and preserve function. Eventually, joint replacement surgery is required. The cause of OA is unknown, but studies suggest that changes in the joint at the molecular level are responsible. It's often seen in those with repetitive stress occupations.
Glucosamine is a building block for joint cartilage. It's also an effective antioxidant that works at the cellular level to help repair damage done by free radicals. A supplement using glucosamine sulfate at dosages of 1,500 mg is most effective and provides the greatest benefit.
Chondroitin and MSM are typically included in glucosamine supplements for an added boost. All three ingredients are chemicals produced naturally within the body to maintain joint health.
Studies have amply demonstrated that glucosamine dietary supplements are effective in addressing the inflammation and pain of osteoarthritis, particularly when it occurs in the knees. It can be taken for extended periods of time without the ill effects that accompany non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The many properties of glucosamine supplements have made them a favorite with people diagnosed with OA (www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/product-reviews/B00DUMO9X4/), providing the natural substances needed for joint health and pain relief.
