Nature's Own Glucosamine Sulfate 1500mg Tablets 200
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance that the body requires for the health of joint tissue. Joint tissue includes cartilage, tendons and the slippery fluid that keeps joints mobile, known as synovial fluid. Cartilage is required to act like a cushion for shock absorption and smooth joint movements. Glucosamine is also a component of blood vessels, heart valves, skin, bones and mucus secretions that keep things moving in the digestive, urinary and respiratory systems.
Glucosamine helps to nourish the joints and helps to reduce further damage to the joints. It stimulates the manufacture of substances needed for healthy joint function and repair. It does this by helping the body to rebuild damaged cartilage as well as produce new cartilage. This may help to temporarily reduce joint pain and swelling and improve joint function and mobility associated with mild osteoarthritis.
Health Benefits of Glucosamine:
- Temporary relief of the pain of mild osteoarthritis
- Symptomatic relief and management of mild osteoarthritis
- Temporary relief of joint tenderness and swelling
- Assisting with reducing inflammation of mild osteoarthritis
- Assisting with reducing damage and loss of cartilage
- Supporting athletes by maintaining joint cartilage health
- May provide temporary relief of knee pain associated with mild osteoarthritis and increase mobility and function.
Dietary sources of Glucosamine
Glucosamine occurs in chitin from the shells of prawns and crustaceans. There are no major food sources of glucosamine, so taking a supplement is the most popular option. As we get older our ability to produce glucosamine decreases which can lead to gradual deterioration of the joint, so taking a supplement may become useful to maintain mobility. Most glucosamine supplements are sourced from the outer shells of shellfish, it is important to check with your doc or pharmacist if you are allergic to shellfish. Other dietary cautions include the use of glucosamine for those who need to be aware of their blood sugar, which may need to be monitored. Once again discuss with your doc.
