What is Glucosamine Sulphate for?
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring body chemical, which the body uses to produce cartilage, tendons and ligaments; which are the connective tissue for joints. It has been described as the 'cement of the connective tissue'. Glucosamine occurs only in very small quantities in our normal diet. It stimulates the production of proteoglycans in cartilage, which minimises the progression and improves the symptoms of osteoarthritis. It may also act in other ways to help symptoms. At this level of 500mg it is regarded as being protective to normal cartilage i.e. a maintenance dosage.
Vitamin C influences collagen development and may have a role in bone matrix formation and Calcium is important to maintain bone density and strength as well as supporting muscle and nerve function.
Cartilage is nature's shock-absorber and joint lubricant. It covers the ends of any bones that meet together, and stops the hard bone tissue rubbing together, which would be very painful. Cartilage consists of three main materials:
- Collagen is the structural element, and is made up of an interwoven mesh of collagen threads. Collagen is a protein, and is naturally made from the protein we eat in our normal diet. There is some evidence that glucosamine stimulates their production.
- Proteoglycan chains anchor themselves in the spaces in the collagen mesh, by wrapping themselves around the collagen threads. Glucosamine stimulates proteoglycan synthesis, and is incorporated into the proteoglycan molecules.
