Osteoarthritis is a common geriatric disease, and more than half of people over 65 years old have osteoarthritis.
Many patients with osteoarthritis take glucosamine (also known as glucosamine ) to relieve the pain caused by osteoarthritis.
glucosamine is a non-vitamin and non-mineral supplement. It is a prescription drug in most European countries, and in countries such as the United States and Australia, it is a commonly used over-the-counter health supplement. Currently, there are prescription drugs and over-the-counter health products in my country.
html On May 14, a study published in the British Journal of Medical Sciences, which has been observed for more than 466,000 people in the UK for 7 years, prompted that glucosamine also has the effect of preventing cardiovascular disease, especially the effect of preventing coronary heart disease is relatively obvious.The study was selected in 466,039 people without cardiovascular disease, of which 19.3% were taken glucosamine. During the 7-year observation period, it was found that the overall risk of cardiovascular disease, death from cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke was reduced by 15%, 22%, 18%, and 9%, respectively.
Among current smokers, glucosamine has a more prominent preventive effect on coronary heart disease, with a 37% reduction in risk. Researchers believe this may be related to glucosamine's anti-inflammatory effect in smokers.
researchers pointed out that animal experiments suggest that the cardiovascular protection effect of glucosamine may be related to its anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, this supplement may be similar to a low-carb diet, which reduces glycolysis and promotes amino acid catabolism.
, but it is not recommended to prevent cardiovascular disease through routine supplementation with glucosamine, and more studies are needed to verify it. However, the findings are good news for osteoarthritis patients taking glucosamine, which is at least safe for the cardiovascular system.
