Glucosamine is an amino sugar derived
from the chitin of shellfish. It is utilized by the body to support
healthy joint structures. Glucosamine has been proven to help stimulate
joint repair and reduce the aches and pains associated with degenerative
joint disease and osteoarthritis.
75% of people who take glucosamine get relief from arthritis pain &
inflammation. It can even work as a preventative for those who want to
maintain the health of their joints before they get symptoms. |

What is Glucosamine?
Glucosamine is derived from glucose and glutamine (an amino
acid). It is used to produce substances in the body that attract
and bind water into tissues, making them more resilient. It is
especially important to maintain properly functioning joint
structures.
When scientists first began studying glucosamine and chondroitin
in the 1970s, they were amazed that not only did the subjects
experience less pain, but also - and more importantly- their
formerly degenerating cartilage had begun to repair itself. When
they took a closer look at the way glucosamine and chondroitin
were actually working to reduce pain and repair cartilage, they
found that both of them were extremely important for normal
joint health.
They found that glucosamine and chondroitin are both building
blocks for the molecules that make up tendons, ligaments, bones,
and synovial fluid. They also supply a very important molecule
called "proteo-glycans", a substance in joint cartilage.
The problem they found was that with age, the ability to
regenerate and restore joint structure begins to fail, often due
to a decrease in the natural production of glucosamine sulfate
in the body. This deficiency causes the production of new joint
and connective tissue to slow, causing it to both weaken. The
result is pain and stiffness.
A deficiency in either glucosamine or chondroitin may lead to
osteoarthritis, which is a break down of joint structure that
manifests itself as stiffness (especially after periods of
rest), creaking and cracking joints, as well as pain. |
