A dietary supplement taken by people suffering from arthritis and arthrosis, on average, can extend a person's life expectancy by 8 years.. This conclusion was made by scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich..

Dietary supplements with glucosamine are often used by people who have become victims of arthritis and arthrosis, since this substance, which is produced by the cartilage tissue of the joints, accelerates the growth of new cartilage tissue and reduces pain. However, it has now become clear that the benefits of glucosamine do not end there.. Experiments on mice that regularly received this nutritional supplement made it possible to increase the lifespan of animals by 10%.. In human terms, this equals 8 years. Although, the Swiss researchers themselves are not sure if the same effect will be observed in humans..

" - We started experimenting with worms, and this drug lengthened their life by 5%. Then came the turn of mice, which we fed glucosamine along with regular food.. This group of lab rodents lived 10% longer than those that did not receive the supplement."

Previously, other scientists have established the fact that glucosamine, available in the form of capsules or powders, also provides prevention of diabetes.. Its ability to increase longevity is likely due to the fact that this supplement switches the human body's energy compensation system from carbohydrates and sugar to fats and proteins.. It is no secret that low-carb diets are very beneficial for health, as they not only reduce weight, but also blood pressure, as well as the concentration of unhealthy fats in a person’s blood..
