Glucosamine Sulphate is used for osteoarthritis & other joint conditions to soothe joint pains, ease any joint stiffness & increase mobility & flexibility. The connective tissue between our joints (articular cartilage) will gradually degenerate through age by wear and tear. Glucosamine is a major building block of complex proteins called glycosaminoglycans, that form an important part of the structure of healthy cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Glucosamine can help to reduce joint inflammation by thickening the synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint, assisting in cushioning and reducing friction in joints.

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance, it is a sugar, produced in the body from glucose, and is used in the maintenance and regeneration of healthy cartilage in joints. Glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate help the body repair damage and wear and tear to cartilage. Glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin only work when they get absorbed into the body. There are many scientific articles proving the effectiveness of glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin. Glucosamine has been shown to help in cases of degenerative joint disease like osteoarthritis. Glucosamine sulphate is not present in any significant amount in most diets as it is only obtained from shellfish.

Studies

Glucosamine sulphate use and delay of progression of knee osteoarthritis: a 3-year, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study - Pavelka K, Gatterova J, Olejarova M, Machacek S, Giacovelli G, Rovati LC.

'Over a three year period... 200 patients, 100 were given a supplement containing glucosamine the other 100 were given a placebo and the results monitored. Conclusion: Long-term treatment with glucosamine sulphate retarded the progression of knee osteoarthritis, possibly determining disease modification.'

Glucosamine Sulphate is a compound that occurs naturally in the body. It is a key building block of cartilage tissue found in joints. It has been shown to help normalise cartilage metabolism and prevent the degeneration of joint tissue. Due to these two functions it is an ideal agent for preserving and repairing joints.

Chondroitin Sulphate has been shown to help reduce pain in osteoarthritis sufferers, restore joint function and mobility, and possibly promote healing within the joints. Supplementation is recommended for at least 3-8 weeks, however it is best used on a long term basis in order to maintain benefits.
