- How does glucosamine help with cartilage and joint health?
The main function of cartilage is to minimize friction between two surfaces during movement, and to help transmit loads from one joint to another. It contains no blood or lymphatic vessels, and has no nerves. Because there are no vessels in the area, there is minimal capacity for natural healing after injury, so it is important to maintain what we have.
Glucosamine comes in different forms. Glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and N-acetyl glucosamine. It can also come in combination like glucosamine and chondroitin.
The most current review research articles did not differentiate between the types of glucosamine, but watch the video to see how glucosamine effects joints. Learn about possible side effects of glucosamine, and other ways to manage your joint health!
Always check with your medical professional to see if this is right for you.

I'm almost 80 years old, 3 years ago I couldn't walk, one year after taking Glucosamine I'm back on track and run 6 miles a day.
Any combination or just glucosamine..
Can i ask what brand you take? I am 38 but have been told in 10 years I’ll be needing partial knee replacements. I have also already had hip surgery. I work out: any brand tips let me know! Stay healthy ❤
@@shanebomb1860I’m doing research now i keep seeing people with MSM I’m trying to figure out which works best sulfates or chondrotij can’t find too much

Glucosamine helped my knee pain but made me gain weight I had to stop taking it.
Glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen and Vit C is my recipe for joint pain - also makes my finger nails grow super-quickly.
EXCELLENT explanation. thanks
I used to have bad knee pain. I couldn't even kneel down and maintain the position for more than a few seconds as the pain would force me to stand up. This was back in late 90s. Internet wasn't much. Dial up with AOL. But I saw something about glucosamine so I thought I'll buy some and give it a try. I took it for almost two months straight not knowing what to expect and then finally one morning as I was kneeling down in front of the refrigerator and I realized that I could stay kneeling down without having to stand up. That was the beginning of getting rid of most of my knee pain. There were still some other issues but they lessen after a couple of years of taking glucosamine. It took a few years where I could jump from a few steps up and to the ground without any pain. Right now I have to make sure I don't kick anything or I can get a sore knee with the kicking leg. But overall it has worked for me. I'll keep on using this and hopefully I will never need to get knee replacement surgery. I'm 69 years old.
is it o.k for lower back pain?

I take a combination of glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. The effects were felt within a week. Now when I stop, after a week I feel like an old man. Needless to say, I take this supplement daily and to squats as well as other exercises. I’m stronger and more flexible now than I was seven years ago when I started taking these.
Yes, a combination of supplements, dietary changes and activity level changes can make a big difference!
How many grams is your msm. And the joint pain that u whre feeling , is it only maybe knees or allover

20+ years taking the combo. I'm 69 and doing better than most. This after working hard all my life with back and neck injuries. It works. Stopping is not an option.
great job,,anything these days for healthier life im for it in these covid times
Great information! Music was loud and distracting!
Excellent
I tore my acl & meniscus when I turned 60 and never had the acl repaired and the Doctors said that I would have arthritis pain within a few years but I started taking glucosamine, chondroitin, and msm immediately and even to this day 11 years later at 71 I have NO pain in my knees or elsewhere so I truly believe that it is working for me.
I tore my acl like you..for 11 months I ve been taking chondro and gluco..No result
@@thelastmohikhan9302 I use the Kirkland Signature Extra Strength from Costco as directed (2) tablets daily, they say that that daily dose contains 1500 mg Glucosamine HCI with 1500 mg MSM, it comes in a big bottle of (375) tablets so (2) bottles last me a year, they usually have them sale every now and then and right now they are $3.50 off until 11/19. I know they are under $15 at the regular price and are about half the cost of many of the premium brands out there on the market, if that helps you out any?
Gluco has no effect on a torn acl. If you tore it 10 years ago it's still torn and can snap at anytime . That's what happened to me had to get a new acl went with a donor one .
The anatomy and physiology discussed in this video was excellent most people unless they have taken this in a college class won’t understand.
I live in practical world, if something is worn out from use. More use does not rebuild it.
@@stephenharvey5932Your body responds dynamically to normal use by rebuilding during rest phases as long as the building blocks are there. This means adequate rest and proper nutrition (balanced diet). Exercise is good for you, but weightlifting to fatigue and not giving yourself 48 hours until you work that same muscle group won’t give your body enough time to repair and strengthen. Your body can handle more stress when young then as you get older.
For injuries you need more rest and maybe special nutrition or immobilizing the injured area for a time. Overuse injuries or chronic stress to a particular joint causes the body to not have the time needed to heal. Chronic poor diet means that even with enough rest, the building blocks aren’t there for the repair. It’s like going to a mechanic to fix your car and they don’t have the right parts or they use an inferior copycat part. Or maybe they have the right part, but they rush through the repair, that’s like not getting enough rest.
I am still walking on my legs , left is still bone on bone. I go to the store for what ever I walk through the store, I do not park in handicap spaces unless I have to go to toilet. It gets used. But nothing has improved the knee joint. So understand that.
The research in the US does not find glucosamine to be effective but the studies in Europe find that it helps people and doctors recommend using it. I was on crutches ten years ago due to cartilage wear resulting in bone-on-bone damage. It took about three months before I felt relief from taking glucosamine and another three months to feel even more relief. I continue to take it. The brand you take matters. I now walk 2 - 4 miles a day.
What brand did you take?
I'm glad it has helped you and yes, the brand matters as well. General exercise, healthy habits also go a long way too!
@@-xyz-012 I took Costco (kirkland) brand recommended by their pharmacist for years and it helped a lot, then I took Osteo Bi-flex which is supposed to be the best. It was somewhat less effective than Costco. Then I bought Glucosamine, Chondrotin, MSN combination from Swanson Vitamins and after a month - no knee pain. Ten years ago surgery was recommended and now I can sleep without pain at night. I walk 2 - 4 miles a day and I am in my eighties. To me it is like a miracle because ten years ago I had to use crutches and could barely go up/down stairs. However, Oster Bi-flex works best for my sister. It depends of your particular bodies biology. I wish you luck.
research in US needs to back big pharma/healthcare
preventative measures are taboo here in the states 🤣
I was once a consumer of Gluco when I was about 20, it made me played stronger, but some years I stopped and I have to go for an op for a cartilage damage,can I go back to Gluco, will it help me?
I winced a little when I saw they guy jumping on and off the box about 4:52 in during the discussion about exercise. :O
I can do some exercises that don't involve a lot of compression, starting with leg curls and leg extensions. I'm taking it slowly from there and hoping glucosamine will allow me to start doing squats and deadlifts soon.
Loud music ...good content
I once started getting arthritis type symptoms in my fingers, knees areas mostly. Went on Glucosamine...symptoms disappeared. Havent had the symptoms since. I stopped taking Glucosamine for a while but I have just bought another big container as a further preventative measure . A good product. 👌👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎯💯🙏
Glad to hear it help you! Thanks for watching.
@@EastWestPhysiotherapy is it ok to take glocusamine while im taking omeprazole? im 51 years old
Hi Liz .. I can recommend glucosamine and added benefit of Chondroitin as a natural anti-inflammatory … as opposed to the conventional drugs from the GP (with awful side effects)
Google says, The bottom line: glucosamine may be good for your joints but if you have a family history of diabetes or are overweight, taking glucosamine supplements could put you at greater risk for diabetes.
Molim prevod na srpski jezik❤
That good. Asies on Glucosamine. Effectiveness?
Is this also can help an ACL or MCL injury
What about fibrocartilage like the meniscus. Does Glucosomine have any affect there?
The studies should focus on actual MRI to see changes on cartilage, improvement on pain could even mean these supplements block pain receptors, since many people report pain after stop taking them
I did surgery on my right hip after one year I got arthritis, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tears. Can glucosamine fix it ?
Awesome
More videos please 🙏🙏🙏 this is so useful
Thanks for watching!
what are the thoughts about boswellia extract and turmeric curcumin?
I have taken both for a decade or so and ran out and didn't take for several months, and noticed joint soreness. So finally was able to purchase again and noticed that my joint pains faded ! So at least in my body it works for me !
I had same experience, been taking it for a few years, ran out, pain came back in very short time, started taking it again, pain gone.
That has been my experience as well and I have taken it for a similar amount of time. If I forget to take for a few days in a row the pain will be back.
it works for me, too ... if i dont take it, it hurts
Am rose from Kenya, I'm diagnosed with spondylosis L5...there is a time my hands,knees,bone joints was very weak.i could nt go upstairs...my doc prescribed me colla joints just 20 sachets 1 sachet mrng and 1 sachet evening...its a nice supplement.

Does it also help with fingers and/wrists?
We’re told after a scan thirty years ago having severe pain, grating and locking that I needed two knee replacements. However at age fifty I were too young to have the ops. Someone suggested I take Glucosamine which I did and later included MSM and went back to running up stairs again, which at age 81 I still do.
Do you have osteoarthritis?
From where I can shop .
Is this better than the combination of hyaluronic acid with hydrolized collagen and resveratrol? For degenerative osteoarthritis.
Wow impressive information 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@ameermontero1905 , this is Not a perfect World. Just appreciate the fact that you've enjoyed great,Free Information!
I am 81 years old and have been a hard-core devoted weightlifter-bodybuilder since I was 16 years old. I have been taking the above-mentioned supplements for maybe 20+ years. I have no hint or arthritis or joint pain whatsoever.
I am glad that it has helped you. Being active lifelong is also a great way to improve joint health.
81 and still at it, congrats. So glucosamine is one of your top recommendations?
@@dennisrobinson8008 Definitely and look into MSM.
I have heard weight lifting helps bone density and cartilages too, well done
Respect!
What is the proper time to take it
Hello, very informative video thanks for taking the time to make it. May I ask, do you think this would help with the cartliage that connects to the sternum and rib? The joint areas where my cartliage connects to my sternum and rib are always popping, cracking and grinding. It hurts, it's depressing and scary. I've tried so many things, maybe this could help? Please share your thoughts. Happy holidays to you and your family
Hello, you can certainly try to see if that helps - there is no harm in doing so. However, there may be other issues that are causing the pain that you want to get checked out by your Physiotherapist.
Hello! Can a person with with Parkinson’s disease take Glucosamine and Chondritin? Thank you.
Thank you for mentioning how Glucosamine is made from shells of shellfish, because I am allergic to Shellfish, but I'll just make sure I have my benedryl readily & available..At this point of having Acute Meniscus, I'd try anything for relief 🥺!
I'm taking Solgar brand Glucosamine that says it's shellfish-free. But I was unable to see how/where this is derived. Anyway, it has a mix of Glucosamine, Hyaluronic Acid, Chondroitin, and MSM. Just started taking it for joint pain... no noticeable effects yet, but we'll see.
These works for me😊
Is there ANOTHER SOURCE of glucosamine besides shellfish?
Which brand of the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin do you recommend?
How do I get it.
Hi Liz just came across your exercise videos and wondered if you can suggest set of exercises for arthritic knees with torn meniscus in both. Thanks
@ipink Lady, thanks for your question. I would recommend first starting with the beginner exercises for knee OA. The exercises for a torn meniscus and OA are quite similar, as both focus on the hip and knee strength to minimize impact to the knee joint. I would first start with the beginner OA exercises and move on to the intermediate level as you feel you need more challenge. The exercises generally should not cause any pain other than the normal muscle pain you would experience after starting a new exercise program. I would also recommend exercises in the pool, it is a great way to strengthen the muscles, and improve joint mobility without the impact. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions! 🙂
Bonjour,
est ce que ce produit est bon pour une personne diabetique ou qui a un glaucome ?
I'm also taking collagen 2 and black seed oil. Also rub castor oil for inflammation
This was an excellent explanation. I found this while searching something related to this topic. Hope it is of help to someone.
Nutritional Supplements That Increase Synovial Fluid
Some nutritional supplements have been shown to increase synovial fluid. They won't cure joint conditions, but they might help alleviate your pain.
Supplements that are good for your joints include:3
Omega-3 fatty acids such as fish oil, which lowers inflammation
Glycosaminoglycans, which keep joints hydrated and lubricated; Glucosamine and chondroitin are two examples
Methionine, which is an amino acid your body uses to grow and heal
Collagen, which your body uses to make cartilage
And don’t forget a good dose of prayer 🤲
Any specific brands you recommend?
It's all the same.
My both hip joint are very stiff i have taken this glucosimine

@@lobstermania4025 hey lobster, I was just at Whole Foods and someone recommended extracted turmeric capsules for my knee pain (I got this pain from intense running) which were right next to glucosamine products. They had success with Cucurmin, a turmeric extract for their fingers/hand pain. It may be worth looking into. Good luck 👍
@@StephenVTran thank you! I will try it. I used to run but now I walk 5 miles a day . I wear a hip and back brace which helps a bit with the pain. I'm getting old.

Thank you for the break down, been curious about this supplement. What is your take on black seed oil? Can I get benefits in pill form or strictly have to drink the stuff and keep in the fridge/cooler? Thanks❤

I encourage everyone with joint pain to also drink olive 2tsb olive oil mixed with 1 tsp black seed oil every morning on an empty stomach (do not eat or drink anything for at least half an hour afterwards), and then last thing at night. Don’t worry if you don’t have black seed. Olive oil is good on its own. Please share your experience after 2/3 days. Thank you.

Both of my knees are bone on bone,I'm 65 overweight female ,loosing weight. So would these two products even benefit me ,since my cushioning is gone?
Gave it to my rescue street dog that had previously broken a leg that had self healed . She was limping badly. After about 2-3 months the limping stopped completely and she's now fully mobile and skips about like a pup.
Glad she is doing better!
just for the record, the mechanism of action is actually unknown for glucosamine supplements. there can also be serious side effects when taken with other medications. also, shellfish is often not made explicit on the label so be careful.
If you actually have a good brand it will tell you about the shellfish in it. 🙄
I'm trying to listen to what you are saying but it is hard for me with the background music.

Does this help for ACL/PCL tears or issues?
No, there is no studies or evidence that we have looked into for ligament tears.
I did get the nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, drowsiness with skin reactions and headaches like you said so, I guess it works,
Constipation and diarrhea would appear to cancel each other out. As for other problems TRY not to eat shellfish whole, as it may be this which constipates. Headaches, for example, might occur from chewing the shells too often, if the problem is not banging it against the wall. Avoid heavy metal concerts, or , for that matter, employment in Wagner PMC..
(I did try the chondroitin and glucosamine in the hope of healing from landing from tens of thousands of jumps, some on skis, which once in a while tended to cause surgery. . No surgically restored joint compares to the original, so,
It's worth a try, so long as one does refrain from biting live, large sharks to obtain the supplements in quantity more cheaply.)
Pls price
I have been using Kirkland glucosamine for 2.months and i think no improvement. Once i finished the glucosamine, i will go back to cosamin brand. Amen.

How much doc?
Let me add to the benefits of taking glucosamine.......I have stage three OA, I have been taking a Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement for awhile and my knee has been good,, very little pain. I was researching G/C supplements, ran out of what I was using and, like a dope, went without it for about a month..........One day I could barely put weight on leg, it hurt like crazy............Went back on my supplement, and after a couple of days, I was doing much better. So, try it folks..........p.s........Watch your diet as well, lots of videos out there connecting inflammatory foods with arthritis pain.
Where it is available
Check with your local pharmacy or health supplement store
Is it works on rhemoutoid arthritis patient
Thanks for your questio Vasu. The studies did not look at rheumatoid arthritis, it was specifically for OA only. Currently there isn't enough scientific studies supporting the use of it for RA.
I can not take most brands. 30 years ago it was made from cattle thorax. Now it is made from a really cheap waste product, crustacean shells. I am allergic to crustaceans. So I have switched to mixing Knox gelatin into shakes and meals instead of taking pills.

Great question, it is a bit complicated as many personal factors can affect the level of blood sugars (i.e. age, family history, etc.) This also depends on the dosage, quality of the supplements, and other medication interactions. Research has shown some mixed results about it affecting sugar levels. Check with your medical provider for guidance regarding this.
