FEATURED ARTICLE:
At the time that Dr. Fischer’s and Dr. Ogletree’s TOP 10 book was written, many of the studies on glucosamine Sulfate were underway. Some initial trails had indicated that glucosamine was effective in the treatment of joint pain even showing results with arthritis patients. Further studies confirmed the initial results but were not available when the doctor‘s book was published. With the additional scientific evidence it is likely that Glucosamine would have been one of the TOP 10 natural health products.
“The TOP 10 Scientifically Proven natural PRODUCTS“
by Dr. Richard Fischer & Dr. Richard Ogletree
REPORT #11: Glucosamine
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
In 1997 when “
The TOP 10 Scientifically Proven NATURAL PRODUCTS“ book was being researched, many of the studies on Glucosamine Sulfate were just underway. Some initial trails had already indicated that Glucosamine was effective in the
treatment of joint pain even showing results with arthritis patients. Further studies were needed to confirm these initial findings The many new studies confirmed that Glucosamine was safe and effective.. With the additional scientific evidence it is likely that Glucosamine would now be considered one of the TOP 10 scientifically
proven natural products.
Glucosamine research has been funded both privately and by the government. Under the direction of the NIH (National Institutes of
health), one of the world’s foremost
medical research centers, 13 United States research universities performed a randomized, double-
blind, placebo controlled, efficacy
study of Glucosamine. Over 1,500 osteoarthritis sufferers participated in this 24 week
study.
The scientific evidence
shows that Glucosamine supports the production of synovial fluid in
joints and helps maintain its thickness and elasticity. It also helps to support and even rebuild connective tissue. Glucosamine is one of the essential nutrients needed by cartilage, ligaments and tendons.
