April 2010: New Research on effects of Omega 3 and Glucosamine

22/04/2010 11:19:04

Glucosamine is well known for its uses in assisting cartilage repair in damaged joints and is one of the most widely taken joint care supplements. Omega 3 fatty acids EPAs, DHAs and ETAs have a natural anti-inflammatory action and have been found to be most potent when sourced from fish. 

A recent study by Berlin-based CRO Analyze & Realize, reported that combining omega-3 fatty acids with glucosamine could be a better approach than using glucosamine alone. The study, published in the journal Advances in Therapy, is said to be the first clinical trial to employ the combination of glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids in people suffering from osteoarthritis.  
The combination of glucosamine sulfate and omega-3 fatty acids was found to produce significant OA pain reduction, compared to glucosamine alone. The scientists noted the ingredients probably acted synergistically. “Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit the inflammation process in osteoarthritis, whereas glucosamine sulfate further supports the rebuilding of lost cartilage substance,” they stated.
 
Pernamax Caplets contain 600mg of Green Lipped Mussel and 175mg of Glucosamine per caplet. Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, our Green Lipped Mussel extract SuPerna™ has 5 times more omega-3 PUFAs than any other GLM extract. Our patented Cold Processing method retains optimum concentrations of the nutrients found in fresh green lipped mussels, which is why Pernamax is so effective.
