Nn Glucosamine - Intro
"By treating the root of the problem through the promotion of cartilage synthesis, glucosamine sulfate not only relieves the symptoms, including pain, it also helps the body repair damaged joints. The clinical effect is impressive, especially when glucosamine's safety and lack of side effects are considered."
~ Michael Murray, N.D.A leading authority on natural medicine - USA |
 Fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, hips and more - the human body has 143 joints that act as hinges, levers and shock absorbers that allow us to stand, walk, run, kneel, jump, dance, climb, sit, shake hands, eat and perform the thousand of motions that get us through the day. Whether it's a large knee joint or a tiny toe joint, each is a complex unit necessary for movement. Healthy joints intermediate, allowing us to achieve the perfect balance between stability and movement. Cartilage present in joints makes it possible for ends of bones to slide easily across each other. The low-friction, shock-absorbing properties of healthy cartilage are important for pain-free movements in joints. Over the years, cartilage becomes eroded and gradually wears away. Without it, bone ends are unprotected and start to scrape and abrade one another. Joints stop working smoothly, and pain or stiffness may result.
Osteoarthritis often called the wear and tear disease is a slow, degenerative joint condition that strikes after the age of 45, affecting chiefly the weight-bearing joints of the knees and hips as well as the lower back, neck and fingers. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are often prescribed to treat the pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis. Unfortunately drugs have side effects and are known to hinder the healing of joint cartilage. Research suggests that glucosamine (nature's own joint food nourishment) offers a safe way to help reduce problems associated with cartilage breakdown and osteoarthritis. When taken orally, glucosamine is absorbed by the cartilage and joint tissues, where it stimulates the manufacturing of compounds necessary for restoring joint health.
Glucosamine - The Joint Restorating Nutrient
Glucosamine is naturally produced in the body. It is the critical building block of connective tissue substances that form cartilage. Dietary glucosamine is able to replace what the body cannot adequately manufacture. It offers the best chance for joints to get plenty of what they need for proper functioning. It stimulates the production of important building blocks essential for the synthesis of collagen, hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Collagen supports cartilage's firmness while hyaluronic acid binds with GAGs to provide healthy levels of joint fluid. Glucosamine can ...
- Normalize cartilage metabolism which helps to keep cartilage from breaking down.
- Attract and hold water in joints so that cartilage does not dry out and become susceptible to cracking.
- Produce joint fluids to protect joints from pressure and friction. Healthy levels of joint fluids increase the supply of nutrients to the cartilage.
- Make cartilage resilient and pliable so that it can stretch and bounce back easily in response to joint movements.
- Regulate cartilage-destroying enzymes so that breakdown of existing cartilage is reduced.
- Reduce pain and strengthen the natural repair mechanisms in the body to improve joint function
