WHAT WAS THE IMPACT OF GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE, MSM AND CHONDROITIN SULFATE AS A TREATMENT FOR YOUR ARTHRITIS?

In its simplest term, arthritis is the inflammation or swelling of one or more joints in the body which causes pain and stiffness and it mostly gets worse with age. The most common form of Arthritis is Osteoarthritis (wear and tear) which usually arises due to age and most often affects joints like the fingers, knees, and hips. 


Although, osteoarthritis may sometimes surface as a result of a previous injury or accident too. Other known types of arthritis include; Ankylosing Spondylitis which affects the lower back, Juvenile Arthritis, that is, arthritis in children below 16 years, Gout (a disease that causes hard crystal of uric acid to form in the joint), Psoriatic Arthritis which is common with people with Psoriasis as an underlining condition and Rheumatoid Arthritis which causes the immune system to attack the synovial membrane in the joint. It is worthy of note that the factors that make one susceptible and disposed to having arthritis include age, lifestyle, sex, and obesity.

Symptoms of Arthritis may include lingering joint pain, stiffness of the joint, that is, experiencing difficulty in moving the joints, swelling or inflammation around the joints, redness of the joint and decrease in the range of motion of affected joint(s). Various reports have posited that there is no cure for arthritis, however, in recent times, there have been improvements in treatment and maintenance for many types of arthritis as early treatment of arthritis turns out positive. It is clear from the foregoing that there are treatments that can help one manage Arthritis as a condition. However, these treatment plans also depend on how severe the damage caused is, the signs and symptoms, and the underlining health condition of the patient. 

Over the years, arthritis has been treated and maintained by using various means to reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation. The popular medications used to treat arthritis include Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain and reduce inflammation, Counterirritants, Steroids, Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs), Supplements such as Glucosamine (Glucosamine hydrochloride and Glucosamine Sulfate), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Chondroitin Sulfate, Therapy and Surgery for Joint Repair, Joint Replacement or Joint Fusion.

List of Sodium Hyaluronate Applications

 Sodium hyaluronate gel is a kind of glycosaminoglycan, which is widely used in biomedicine, biomaterials, functional foods, and cosmetics.   Sodium hyaluronate has been discovered for nearly 80 years. As early as 1934, Meyer and Palmer isolated a polysaccharide containing uronic acid and hexosamine from the hyaloid body. In a physiological neutral environment, hyaluronic acid is a polyanion. In 1985, Balazs and others suggested that the term hyaluronan be used to unify the name of the substance on the grounds that the substance is essentially a carbohydrate and should be named according to the naming rules of glycosaminoglycan. "Hyaluronan" has been widely used to cover any state of hyaluronic acid and its salt (hyaluronate), usually translated as "hyaluronic acid", abbreviated as HA.

The eyes are extremely complex objects within the human body, and therefore eye surgeries are very difficult to perform; hyaluronic acid helps to make the process a lot easier. Your eyes require a very specific set of circumstances to operate at optimal capacity. For example, they need to be lubricated all the time to be able to turn around quickly and efficiently. They also need to be filled with a liquid to maintain an optimal internal environment. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for a lot of this - without hyaluronic acid, everything starts to break down. Hyaluronic acid is the main lubricant and a very important component of the jelly-like substance within the eye. Due to its natural uses in maintaining proper eye functionality, HA is being used to improve eye surgery outcomes. The eyes contain even more hyaluronic acid than your joints, which signifies that the compound has a heavy role to play in their normal functioning. Experts have researched the effects of using a variety
