Glucosamine Sulfate supplements relieve the pain of arthritis naturally by providing the raw material necessary to replace lost cartilage and repair joints. Glucosamine sulfate is preferred over other forms of glucosamine. Studies suggest that absorption of oral glucosamine sulfate may be up to 98 percent; no studies of other forms of glucosamine support similar absorption rates. The natural sulfur in glucosamine sulfate may increase its beneficial effects. Several studies have shown that, even though glucosamine sulfate has little anti-inflammatory effect and no direct painkilling effect, it is effective in relieving the pain, inflammation, and stiffness of OA. This suggests that it addresses the underlying causes of the pain rather than just the symptoms. Moreover, in contrast with long-term use of prescription treatments for OA, long-term use of glucosamine sulfate has no adverse effects.

Other Important Points about SISU Glucosamine Sulfate

• It takes about four weeks for glucosamine sulfate to begin taking effect, but the longer it is used, the more pronounced the benefit may be.

• Some people who begin using glucosamine sulfate as an add-on to prescription arthritis therapy are, in time, able to decrease the dosages of their prescription drugs.

• While the word “glucosamine” might imply an effect on blood sugar, this is not the case. People with diabetes and hypoglycemia can use glucosamine sulfate without concern about adverse effects.

• Individuals with allergies to sulfa drugs and sulfite preservatives need not be concerned about glucosamine sulfate, which is a natural component of human blood and not related to sulfa drugs or sulfites.

• If you find that glucosamine sulfate does not begin to have the desired effect in four to six weeks, you may wish to try GLS Plus Shark Cartilage or MSM and Glucosamine.

Scientific Background

More than 100 joints connect the 206 bones in the human body. The bones at each joint are held together with ligaments and covered at the ends with cartilage, which absorbs impact and allows bones to move smoothly against each other. Large reserves of glucosamine are found naturally in the joints, where it stimulates the manufacture of cartilage components and helps to repair joint tissues. With age, the body’s ability to manufacture glucosamine is impaired. As a result, cartilage wears away and/or hardens, providing less cushioning for the joints and giving rise to the painful condition known as “wear-and-tear” arthritis, or osteoarthritis (OA). Sulfur is an essential nutrient for joint tissue. It supports the strength of connective tissue, such as cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Arthritis sufferers are commonly deficient in sulfur.
