Nov. 15, 1999 (Boston) -- In news that is sure
to have dietary supplement makers falling to their knees in
thanks, European researchers report on results of a 3-year study
indicating that a single daily dose of glucosamine sulfate appears
to decrease the progression and ameliorate the signs and symptoms
of osteoarthritis of the knee. The findings were presented here
Monday at the 63rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American
College of Rheumatology (ACR).
Osteoarthritis is caused by just general wear
and tear of the joints. In people who have the condition, the
cartilage, the cushion at the end of the bones, deteriorates,
which in turn reduces the space between the bones (at the joint),
called joint space narrowing, and leads to pain. More than 20
million Americans suffer from the disease; most of them are
over 45.
In the study of 212 patients, some took 1,500
mg of glucosamine sulfate orally each day and some took a placebo.
X-rays showed that of the patients who took glucosamine sulfate,
22% had X-ray evidence of joint deterioration, compared with
38% of those who took the placebo. At the end of the 3-year
study, patients on glucosamine had nearly 50% less joint-space
narrowing and experienced significant improvement of symptoms,
says Jean-Yves Reginster, MD, PhD, from the University of Liege,
Belgium.
"For the first time, we have shown that
a compound may be able at least to slow down the progression
of osteoarthritis," Reginster says.
