happened to see this on Globalandmail.com GLUCOSAMINE AND CHONDROITIN These natural substances are found in and around cartilage cells. Some, but not all, studies have shown that supplements of glucosamine and chondroitin can relieve joint stiffness and pain in some people with osteoarthritis. There's also evidence that glucosamine can slow joint degeneration and osteoarthritis progression. Most studies have used 1,500 milligrams of glucosamine sulfate daily. Research suggests that chondroitin sulfate (1,200 milligrams daily) is effective for alleviating osteoarthritis symptoms when used with pain killers. Chondroitin is often combined with glucosamine, but the evidence that this combination works better than either ingredient alone is sparse. If you take either supplement and don't feel any benefit after three months, it probably isn't going to work and you should stop taking it. Discuss taking supplements with your health-care provider. MSM This compound, called methyl sulfonyl methane, is found in small amounts in fruit, corn, tomatoes, milk, tea and coffee. As a supplement, MSM is promoted as having anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Two randomized controlled trials lasting 12 weeks found that MSM supplements - used alone or in combination with glucosamine - significantly lessened knee pain and swelling, and improved joint function in people with osteoarthritis. Animal studies also suggest MSM may inhibit degenerative changes in joints. While preliminary research suggests MSM may help, not enough is known about its long-term safety and effectiveness.

"A recent (July 13th 2003) study done by Dr. Daren Scroggie and associates from Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, studied the effects of Glucosamine on glucose levels - a very important measurement for diabetics. The clinical study reported that taking glucosamine supplements in humans does not notably affect glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. This is great news, because there were a few animal studies that had shown a slight effect on glucose levels with large Glucosamine dosages that have lead researchers – until now – to be skeptical about Glucosamine’s effects on diabetics due to potential concerns about changing glucose levels."

小枫说的对,类风湿关节炎是免疫系统的问题,跟骨质疏松引起的关节炎不一样,Glucosamine对它不起作用。ZT一篇文章: Glucosamine for Arthritis Pain: Not a Good Treatment Option for Rheumatoid Arthritis Glucosamine, a nutritional supplement, may not be a good treatment option for rheumatoid arthritis patients. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis, and glucosamine has been tested primarily for one type of the disease, osteoarthritis. Before considering glucosamine as an arthritis treatment, it is important to know which type of arthritis you have. Glucosamine, a substance found in the body, is believed to play a role in the formation of cartilage and in its repair. The nutritional supplement Glucosamine can be found in pill or liquid form and is also available in combination with chondroitin sulfate, another nutritional supplement. These supplements are extracted from animal tissue. Glucosamine is manufactured from the shells of shellfish. Chondroitin sulfate is usually made from shark cartilage, “Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate”, Arthritis Foundation, (June 2002). Glucosamine is marketed for one particular condition: osteoarthritis. But, what if your joint problem is caused by another form of the disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis? Rheumatoid arthritis is the second most common form of arthritis, after osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. It has several special features making it different from other kinds of arthritis. It is a disease, which attacks the body’s immune system, an autoimmune disease. Because rheumatoid arthritis affects the body differently from osteoarthritis, people with rheumatoid arthritis should not expect glucosamine to provide relief. It could be a waste of money and, just as importantly, treatment time. If a patient with rheumatoid arthritis delays seeing a doctor in favor of experimenting with glucosamine, the underlying condition could get worse. 。。。。 |

Glucosamine,Chondroitin & MSM.
Glucosamine,Chondroitin & MSM.实际上是一种 anti-inflamatory 类药, 由于是一种草药类药, 所以本身是一种需长期服用才能见效的药, 但这里有两点需要注意: 第一, 作为一种 anti-inflamatory 类药, 不可避免的副作用就是: 它本身是一种胃黏膜生长因子抑制剂, 换句话说, 有胃炎及胃溃疡史的人要慎重服用, 否则容易引起消化道出血. 第二, 高血压病人要慎重服用, anti-inflamatory 类药, 有升高血压的可能, 所以监控血压是应该的.
