Melrose Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a compound consisting of an amino
acid and a sugar molecule. It is formed by the human body as a precursor to form
larger molecules called glycosaminoglycans, which are involved in the formation
and repair of cartilage.
Glucosamine is found in high concentrations in
cartilage and other connective tissues. As we age, the body's own production of
glucosamine is diminished; this causes joint cartilage to loose its water
holding capacity.
Cartilage is responsible for providing the "shock
absorption" at the end of bones. It is the loss of this cushioning effect due to
the loss of glycosaminoglycans that result in pain and loss of range of motion.
Osteoarthritis, often known as "wear and tear
arthritis" is the commonest type of arthritis. This degenerative disease affects
the middle - aged and elderly, and is characterised by the breakdown of
cartilage.
Supplementing the body's natural glycosamine
production has been proven in clinical trials to repair and rebuild worn or
damaged cartilage and reduce pain and return mobility.
What makes Melrose Glucosamine different?
Until Melrose Plant Sourced Glucosamine became available all glucosamines
were sourced from Chitin, a major component of shellfish. This posed an allergy
risk to many consumers.
Melrose Plant Sourced Glucosamine is a unique new
form of Glucosamine hydrochloride. Sourced from fermented corn it is 100% free
from shellfish or animal ingredients.
Melrose Plant Sourced Glucosamine is also Gluten
Free, Halal and Kosher.
There are two major forms of Glucosamine, the
hydrochloride form and the sulphate form. There is a discussion over which of
the two glucosamine salts, hydrochloride or sulphate, is preferred for the
treatment of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine sulphate is the form used in much of
the clinical trials conducted. It is important to understand that both salts, in
the pure form, deliver equally effective amounts of glucosamine to joint
cartilage. The hydrochloride form yields 83.1% glucosamine and the sulphate form
yields 62.8% with the remaining 20% being sodium or potassium chloride.
Both forms of glucosamine dissolve in the
stomach's hydrochloride acid, which makes all the glucosamine readily available
for absorption in the small intestine.
Melrose Glucosamine Dosage
1/2 teaspoon = 1500mg
