Glucosamine

An amino derivative of glucose, glucosamine is produced naturally by the body and is found in healthy cartilage and possesses anti-inflammatory properties. To maintain joint health and functionality your body need glucosamine.

Glucosamine prevents Ostoearthritis

You see, as the body ages it tends to produce less glucosamine.  And if the body does not produce enough glucosamine the cartilage in the weight bearing joints (hips and knees) and the hands is destroyed and then hardens. 

This produces bone spurs which are painful and cause deformed joints with limited movement.  That’s osteoarthritis.

Glucosamine supplements are a relatively new treatment option often used to control the symptoms of osteoarthritis.  They are proving very effective in easing pain, rehabilitating cartilage, renewing synovial fluid and repairing joints damaged by osteoarthritis – an excellent combination to help arthritis sufferers lead and healthy and active life.

Available in capsule and liquid form

During 1999 – 2001 the market was flooded with many different brands of Glucosamine supplements.  They came in different forms, had different absorption abilities and were of differing quality.

Now available in capsule and liquid form, it is generally accepted that liquid form is the most effective because it is absorbed faster and becomes bioavailable (available to the body) faster, therefore offering quicker relief.

Glucosamine is safe to use long term and has minimal side effects.
