Glucosamine Sulphate
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance, a sugar, produced in the body from glucose, and is used in the maintenance and regeneration of healthy cartilage in joints.
Glucosamine sulphate: how is it used?
Glucosamine sulphate is usually used in conjunction with chondroitin sulphate and is used to relieve the symptoms and help in the healing of Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) - osteoarthritis
There is now very little serious doubt that glucosamine helps in cases of osteoarthritis and other similar degenerative joint diseases
This is based (not just on the huge weight of testimony from thousands of "users") but on independent scientific tests, studies and field trials. If you are unfamiliar with these, have a look at some of the independent trials which have been done.
So... glucosamine works... do all glucosamine supplements work?
Yes - in varying degrees. If you have never tried glucosamine you will probably find some benefit in most glucosamine supplements. However, the large size of the glucosamine molecule means that the real benefits of most supplements are lost.
To try to overcome this, the trend has been to add higher and higher levels and concentrations of glucosamine into the supplements. Manufacturers constantly promote their product as having more glucosamine per mg (or dose) than any other.
Very little glucosamine from a supplement gets into the cells in the joints where it is needed. So... if you just overload the body with huge amounts of glucosamine you will get more to where it is needed...
However, this is now an out of date concept because the science and technology of nutraceutical supplementation has moved on - the number one selling supplement in the world has surprisingly little actual glucosamine - its effectiveness comes through the supplementation of specific amino acids and amino-saccharides.
These are the building blocks of glucosamine, which in turn forms the building blocks of cartilage.
In other words - with this technology the body is given the chance to create more of its own glucosamine. A far better and more effective option than trying to cram ever higher levels through the digestive system - hardly a "natural" option!
