Glucosamine is obtained from the shells of sea crustaceans.It is naturally
contained in any healthy cartilage. Glucosamine encourages thecartilage to
create the fundamental building material of the cartilage,proteoglycans and
collagen. Proteoglycans with their spatial structure resemblebottle-cleaning
brushes. The space between the bristles of this imaginedbottle-cleaning brush is
filled with collagen. While collagen and elastin areflexible substances,
proteoglycans provide the cartilage with strength. In ahealthy joint, the
combination of proteoglycans and collagen is such that thecartilage is both
strong and flexible enough. Glucosamine also hasanti-inflammatory effects and
prevents the creation of enzymes which can damagethe cartilage. With age,
however, the ability of the organism to produce thenecessary amount of
glucosamine is reduced and it is therefore advisable tosupplement it in the form
of food supplements. The main action of glucosaminein the human body, is to
stimulate the synthesis of cartilage in joints. Also,by inhibiting the
degradation of cartilage the effect can be relief from thepain and inflammation
around joints that is associated with osteoarthritis.
Glucosamine HCL contains 98% glucosamine, whereas Glucosamine Sulfate contains
75% glucosamine. Glucosamine HCL and GlucosamineSulfate behave similarly in the
gastrointestinal environment to liberate theactive glucosamine compound for
absorption without causing gastric upset. Areduced consumption of red meat,
refined sugar, alcohol and caffeine, loweringcholesterol levels and maintaining
a light exercise program will also bebeneficial while on this treatment.
This product is especially good for those with high blood pressure, on salt
orpotassium restricted diets or those having adverse reactions to sulfate.
Glucosamine is chiefly used in medicine. It has important physiologicalfunctions
to human body such as to take part in the detoxification of liver andkidney, to
protect liver from inflammation, to stimulate the increase ofBifidobiogen in the
infant intestines, to treat rheummatoid arthritis andgastric ulcer, to control
the growth of cell. It is an important material forthe synthesis of antibiotics
and anticancer drugs, and is widely used in food,feed additives and cosmetic.
