IT'S A PAIN IN THE KNEE

A study reported in Military Medicine found that Navy men taking 500 mgs of glucosamine and 400 mgs of chondrotin three times a day had significantly less knee pain and stiffness after taking the supplements for eight weeks. Check with your doctor first since some drugs can be interfered with when you take this supplement.

OW, THOSE ACHING KNEES

If you've got aching knees or even osteoarthritis, there are a couple of options to taking drugs.  One option is glucosamine sulfate.  A study had 178 people with arthritis of the knee.  Half took glucosamine sulfate and the other half took ibuprofen.  The glucosamine was more effective in reducing pain, swelling and improving mobility.  The benefits continued for two weeks after treatment stopped.
The glucosamine also rebuilds cartilage.  The recommended dose is 1000 to 1500 mg per day.
Another option is Coral Calcium.  This comes from coral mined under the island of Okinawa.  It comes in a permeable baggy that's like a tea bag, and you can put it in 1 1/2 liters of water.  Within minutes it turns the water alkaline and also releases almost 1,000 mg of ionized calcium into the water.  People who have been scheduled for knee surgeries have reported canceling the surgeries.

I'd suggest you experiment with a two-month supply to see what it will do for you.  You can e-mail me with your fax number, and I'll fax you more specific information.

Cutting Pain From Osteoarthritis Of The Knee

You’ve got osteoarthritis of the knee so you reach for the ibuprofen. Would you like more natural choices as effective as ibuprofen? That would be curcumin or glucosamine. A study reported in the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine compared the two with ibuprofen. The research showed that the anti-inflammatory properties of these substances gave subjects relief from knee pain. If you want to use them, take 1 gram of curcumin or 1,500 mg of glucosamine a day. (If you take blood thinners, talk to your doctor first). (Reported Prevention, May 2011)
