Glucosamine Sulphate

Glucosamine is an amino sugar produced from the shells of chitin (shellfish) and is a key component of the extra cellular matrix of cartilage. Glucosamine works to stimulate joint function and repair. Glucosamine has been clinically proven to slow the progression of osteoarthritis in humans with arthritis and hip dysplasia in pets. It has been proven effective in easing osteoarthritis pain, aid in rehabilitating cartilage, renewing synovial fluid, and repairing joints that have been damaged from osteoarthritis.

Our bodies produce Glucosamine naturally. However, as we grow older we lose the ability to produce sufficient quantities. Having enough Glucosamine is essential to producing the nutrients we need to produce synovial fluid. It is this fluid which lubricates our cartilage and maintains healthy joints.

When you have a Glucosamine deficiency, cartilage hardens and bone spurs develop which leads to deformities in the joints. Your mobility becomes limited and in short, this is how osteoarthritis develops.

Chondroitin Sulfate:- Chondroitin is a component of cartilage. It is a gigantic molecule, mainly composed of repeated chains of glucosamine sulfate. Because of this, it functions in a way that is similar to glucosamine. Many of the clinical studies with chondroitin utilised injected forms of chondroitin, something we imagine you would prefer to avoid on a daily basis. Fortunately, because our products are in liquid form, our chondroitin sulfate boasts a higher bioavailability than mere solid tablets or capsules. The chondroitin, just like the other specially formulated ingredients in every dose of our products helps the Glucosamine do its job better.
