Glucosamine Pure
99.8% pure Glucosamine works by inhibiting the formation of inflammatory products in joints, which cause pain and cartilage destruction. Glucosamine does not cause the significant side effects that nonsteroidal ant-inflammatory agents may induce.
Glucosamine is an amino sugar used to build tendons, ligaments, cartilage and synovial fluid (joint oil). It stimulates production of GAG’s (glucosaminoglycans) in synovial fluid to enhance lubrication. In addition to being a lubricant this fluid acts as a shock absorber cushioning the joint during exercise. Pain and stiffness occur when the fluid becomes thinner due to age, hard work or disease.
Glucosamine is a soluble natural product obtained from crustacean shells. After being consumed it is absorbed through the wall of the intestine into the body. It is then attracted to the joint cells where it provides the raw material to build up synovial fluid.
