glucosamine and glaucoma?

Question:

Hi, My pressure went down from 27 to 18 since I have been using Glucosamine.
I take it for joint pain but noticed it influences my eye pressure too!

Anyone else had this experience? A search on internet told me there is a correlation.

Answer:


Glucosamine is very interesting because, theoretically, it could worsen the glaucoma because it is found in high concentration in the eye drain in abnormal eyes with glaucoma.

Yet, it might lower eye pressure for reasons that are not well known.

No good proof, just yet!

Remember, correlation does not mean one thing causes another, only that the two are linked somehow.

Check out the research on circumen, from the tumeric root, and glaucoma.

That product does show potential.
