Glucosamine Sulfate
What It Does And How It Works In
The Body
Glucosamine is an amino sugar normally found in humans from glucose. It is
the starting point for the synthesis of many important macro-molecules
including: glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycos-aminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides).
These macromolecules make up many of the body's tissues including:
basement membranes, mucous membranes in the digestive and respiratory
tracts, and synovial fluid in the joints.
A deficiency of glucosamine can reduce the rate of production of these
important macromolecules thereby leading to specific tissue weakness. In
certain cases of trauma to the tissues, the amount of glucosamine normally
synthesized by the body is insufficient. The tissues containing these
glucosamine macromolecules include tendons and ligaments, cartilage,
synovial fluid, mucus membranes, several structures in the eye, blood
vessels, and heart valves.
Glucosamine Sulfate is one of the biological chemicals that forms all the
major cushioning ingredients of the joint fluids and surrounding tissues.
Glucosamine Sulfate and its associated macromolecules help to make the
synovial fluid thick and elastic, in joints and vertebrae.
Tissues in the joints can become damaged when these lubricating synovial
fluids in the joint spaces become thin and watery. The normal cushioning
is lost and consequently the bones and the cartilage scrape against each
other inside the joint space. Weakened bursa sacs in the joints can also
cause tendons to rub against the hard edges of bones, increasing the
chance that the cartilage will erode and cause problems with movement and
flexibility. These problems can also occur in the spinal column where the
individual vertebrae are stacked on top of each other, separated only by
the cushioning disc. The space between the vertebrae is where many nerves
leave the spinal cord, which increases the value of the cushioning fluid.
Any injury to this part of the back can cause the gelatinous cartilage to
soften. When this happens, pressure may be put on the nerves, causing
damage and loss of nerve function. Glucosamine Sulfate helps increase the
thickness of the gelatinous material, creating more support for the joints
and vertebrae.
POSITIVE RESULTS FOR A VARIETY OF CONDITIONS
Glucosamine Sulfate can increase the chance for positive results in a
short period of time for a variety of problems including:
+ breakdown and inflammation of the synovial fluids;
+ damage to the tissues, ligaments and muscles;
+ inflamed disc and sciatica nerve;
+ inflamed joints associated with aging;
+ loss of elasticity in the invertebral discs.
There have been numerous studies showing the beneficial effects of
Glucosamine Sulfate and its relationship with the symptoms of
Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. There
are many over-the-counter medications available to relieve Arthritis
symptoms, yet conventional medicine has nothing to offer in terms of
controlling or reversing the condition. In fact, there is evidence that
long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) actually
accelerate joint destruction in patients with Osteo-arthritis, by
interfering with the body's healing mechanism. Glucosamine Sulfate, which
is naturally found in high concentrations in joint structures, appears to
be one remedy that helps with Osteoarthritic causes and symptoms.
Glucosamine Sulfate has been shown to exert a protective effect against
joint destruction and is selectively used by joint tissues, exerting a
powerful healing effect on arthritic symptoms.
