Glucosamine
Is Glucosamine a magic pill for arthritis treatment?
Glucosamine must be a favorite dietary supplement for those suffering
from arthritis.
Glucosamine is very effective for
Osteoarthritis
(OA, also known as
degenerative arthritis,
degenerative joint disease), but less effective for
rheumatism arthritis treatment.
Because glucosamine is made from shellfish, people allergic to crab,
lobster or shrimp should avoid it. Besides this,
diabetes or people with high cholesterol and high blood pressure
prefer not to take
glucosamine.
Omega-3 (EPA/DPA)
Omega-3 is known as a good dietary supplement for high cholesterol and
heart failures.
Unfortunately, it might be dangerous for those with
high blood pressure or cerebral apoplexy.
In addition, patients should stop taking it prior to surgery.
GLA-Gamma linolecic acid
GLA is an
essential fatty acid found primarily in vegetable oils. It is sold
as a dietary supplement for treating problems with inflammation and
auto-immune diseases.
However, people with high cholesterol
should avoid it. As a result, the
efficacy of such use is still disputed.
Ginseng
Ginseng is a popular Asian dietary supplement. It is regarded as a
mysterious, magical herb to them. Ginseng is good for strengthening
the immune system. It also helps people reduce tiredness. But those
with symptoms of high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, or
depression shouldn’t take this because it’s very
possible side effects can occur.
