Are You One of the Many Arthritis Sufferers?

Read On To See the Many Benefits Deer Velvet Antler Can Offer You

More than 50 million North Americans suffer from the debilitating pain of osteo-arthritis and joint injuries. Many also experience joint inflammation and lack of mobility due to arthritic conditions. The literature also shows that ironically, most commonly prescribed arthritis treatment, anti-inflammatory drugs actually contribute to joint degeneration, and also risk other potentially dangerous side effects.

Clinical research on the use of velvet antler as an alternative arthritis treatment to drugs provides good evidence that the compounds in velvet antler may be significantly more effective and longer-lasting than many conventional prescription and non-prescription drugs for relief from osteo-arthritis.

Deer Velvet Antler: An Arthritis Treatment With Wide Ranging Benefits

The literature also suggests that velvet antler may provide further benefits such as:

· Chondroitin sulfate: a carbohydrate that attracts fluid into proteoglycan molecules and protects cartilage from destructive enzymes.

· Glucosamine sulfate: the building block of cartilage and a reported anti-inflammatory easily absorbed by the body.

· Prostaglandins: powerful anti-inflammatory agents.

· Calcium: for bones, teeth, nerves, blood clotting and muscle contraction.

· Collagen: a major structural protein that binds joints together and serves as a main component of articular cartilage.

· Phosphorus: helps build bones and teeth, and is a key component of metabolic reaction.

· Bone morphogenetic protein: speeds bone growth.

· Growth factors: which aid in cartilage cell development.

Bone and Joint Health

Osteoarthritis is caused by the loss of cartilage in bone joints. In normal joints, cartilage serves as a buffer between bones. Usually the body replenishes cartilage as it wears away, but when osteoarthritis occurs, cartilage deteriorates faster than the body can replace it. Eventually, the bones begin to rub together, causing pain, swelling and loss of joint mobility.

Most treatments for osteoarthritis attempt to reduce pain and maintain joint function, but these treatments do little to restore joint health. Many prescription and over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs actually prevent the growth of collagen in joints, causing further cartilage degeneration.

These drugs can also produce other serious side effects such as deterioration of the gastrointestinal tract lining, and liver and kidney damage.

Researchers believe that the imbalance between cartilage erosion and regeneration in osteoarthritis suffers is caused by a lack of glycosaminoglycans. Glycosaminoglycans play a vital role in the structural integrity of cartilage.

Several studies indicate that velvet antler can reduce or even eliminate symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. Recent clinical tests suggest oral ingestion of glycosaminoglycan-peptide complex, or components such as chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate - both found in velvet antler - may help stimulate cartilage repair. Placebo-controlled double-masked studies of both humans and animals on the therapeutic effects of glycosaminoglycan-peptide complex appear to confirm these investigations. Researchers are now studying how these apparent effects occur.

Chondroitin sulfate, the most abundant glycosaminoglycan found in velvet antler, is used in surgery to stabilize tissue. Several studies on humans indicate regular oral ingestion of chondroitin sulfate can significantly reduce the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. The compound appears to inhibit enzymes that deplete cartilage nutrition. Chondroitin sulfate molecules are long chains of sugars and sulfur that create tiny spaces filled with fluid. These spaces protect and cushion joints.

The Clinical Research

Studies of glucosamine indicate the compound not only inhibits cartilage degradation but also helps repair damaged cartilage. An eight-week double-blind trial of glucosamine on 40 osteoarthritis sufferers found that the compound had significantly longer-lasting benefits than the commonly prescribed pain killer ibuprofen. Other studies indicate that the effects appear to continue as long as 6 to 12 weeks after subjects stop taking glucosamine.
