How it works
Glucosamine is a natural component found in the
cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. It is a major
building block of the substances that together with
protein form the structural units in cartilage. These
structural units, called aggrecans, are important for
the elasticity, resilience and shock-absorbing
properties of cartilage. Ageing decreases the body's
ability to restore and manufacture normal cartilage.
Supplementary glucosamine can be an important source of
this vital component of cartilage as we age.
Osteoarthritis is characterized by joint degeneration
and loss of cartilage. As we get older the wear and
tear effects of use cause degenerative changes in the
cartilage. The cartilage becomes more susceptible to
breakdown and damage, which may result in the typical
symptoms of osteoarthritis. These symptoms include
decreased mobility, increased joint stiffness,
inflammation and swelling.
Glucosamine may help to provide relief from these
symptoms, as well as helping to reduce cartilage wear
and provide temporary relief of the pain associated with
this condition.
