Glucosamine Sulfate May Promote Development of Insulin Resistance – (05-20-00)



Glucosamine Sulfate May Promote Development of Insulin Resistance

This was a small study, but this will definitely require further studies. Many people continue to take high levels of GS once they have noticed a response. Many times the dosage can be tapered down to much less than the original dosage. If more patients followed this guideline, the risk for increased insulin resistance may turn out to be less. A research study presented at the annual Experimental Biology scientific meetings in San Diego, California, cautioned that consumption of the popular dietary supplement glucosamine sulfate may actually increase the risk of developing insulin resistance and may worsen control of diabetes in patients with this disease. Glucosamine sulfate is widely used to relieve the pain of osteoarthritis and other chronic joint conditions.
