Can EFAC work well in conjunction to taking glucosamine and/or chondroitin?
The cause of wear on the joint area can be attributable to inflammation as well as insufficient lubrication and cell membrane fluidity. Glucosamine may assist in the rebuilding of cartilage & the overall structure of the joint although clinical trial data has shown mixed results-sometimes helping, but usually not. EFAC provides continuous lubrication and allows the cell membrane to repel inflammatory chemicals, stopping the cascade of inflammation and the assaults on the membrane which cause it to stiffen. They can work in conjunction, however the benefit of EFAC is far more pronounced than glucosamine. As well, because EFAC is also a natural anti-inflammatory there are several potential areas of benefit besides the joints.
