Frequently asked questions FOR Compensate

Glucosamine

Q. Does Glucosamine actually work in joint pain?
The evidence on the effectiveness of Glucosamine in reducing pain is controversial. Some patients report that Glucosamine has helped reduce arthritis pain, stiffness, and mild to moderate osteoarthritis pain. In fact, there is some evidence that Glucosamine has beneficial effects on the cartilage by slowing down the cartilage breakdown in the joints.
Q. Can Glucosamine cause liver damage?
In research studies, Glucosamine has not been found to raise the liver enzymes or cause any damage. However, there are few recent reports of liver injury while using the products containing Glucosamine. The chances of liver injury are more if the patient has been suffering from chronic liver disease.
Q. Is Glucosamine bad for kidneys?
The effect of Glucosamine on kidneys is not confirmatory. Glucosamine is mostly metabolized and broken down by the liver. However, there are some reports of kidney damage caused due to Glucosamine, but there is a lack of conclusive evidence. Therefore, it should be used with caution in patients with kidney damage and kidney function should be regularly monitored. Do consult your doctor before you start using this medication.
