Glucosamine Sulphate...
the problem with supplements
As we have seen, glucosamine is produced in the body and is used in cells within the cartilage of the joints. If glucosamine is to be taken as a supplement it has to get into those cells.
Glucosamine sulphate has a large and complex molecular structure - too large to pass easily through the small pores in the capillary walls. It just doesn't get to where it's needed, it stays in the blood only to be filtered out by the body's waste system! Most glucosamine supplements do work, but only in a limited way. Most of the ingredients pass through the body... and out again.
The solution to the glucosamine problem
To try to compensate for this manufacturers add ever increasing concentrations of glucosamine and chondroitin to their supplements. This is just a waste and simply puts extra pressure on the digestive and waste systems of the body which is a shame - especially if you are seeking "natural" and "safe" remedies!
One manufacturer has produced a Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement where these ingredients have been broken down into the smaller molecular sized, base compounds which when combined together, form glucosamine and chondroitin. These base compounds are pure amino acids and aminosaccharides and are far more easily absorbed into the cells which triggers them to produce their own glucosamine and chondroitin.
