How it works
Glucosamine and sulfate are natural components found
in the cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. Glucosamine
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.
Researchers found in a clinical trial that patients
with osteoarthritis of the knees had a clinically
significant improvement in pain and mobility after a
period of four weeks using glucosamine sulphate 500 mg
three times daily.
