In-depth summary:
Glucosamine Sulphate: -
Glucosamine is a natural products derived from shrimp and crab shells. It is found largely in cartilage and plays an important role in its health. It is thought that supplementing with Glucosamine may help in the healing of joint injuries and arthritis.If the body has a ready supply of the building blocks it needs to repair damaged joints then the healing process my be accelerated. Glucosamine is made from the combination of a sugar (glucose) and an amine (derived from ammonia).
Chondroitin Sulphate: -
Chondroitin sulphate is a major constituent of cartilage. It provides structure, holds water and nutrients. One important property of Chondroitin is that it allows other molecules (nutirents) to move through cartilage. This is especially important as the blood supply to cartilage is particularly poor. If nutirents cannot get to the damaged area then healing is unlikely to take place.Chondroitin sulphate consists of repeating chains of molecules called glycosaminoglycans. Studies with animals have shown that chondroitin may help in the healing of bone. Chondroitin sulphate has also been shown, in numerous trials to relieve symptoms and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis or even reverse it.
Suggested usage: Take 4 capsules daily divided throughout the day with meals.
