Stimulates The Regeneration And Strength Of Connective Tissue!
Glucosamine Sulphate (GS) has shown to be beneficial in stimulating the regeneration
and strength of connective tissue. The potassium-bound (sodium-free) form of
glucosamine is ideal for use by seniors, those with sodium sensitivities, and
athletes that do not wish the burden of additional dietary sodium.
As people age, joints and connective tissues experience a decreased ability
to replenish and restore the damaged tissues located in their joints. Glucosamine
Sulfate (GS) is a compound containing both sugar and nitrogen and is found in
large amounts in synovial fluid and connective tissue. Numerous European scientific
studies have demonstrated the benefits to bone health when supplementing with
Glucosamine.
Glucosamine (Sulfate) is required in the structure and function of connective
tissue
Glucosamine molecules are chains of the amino acid glutamine and the sugar
glucose. Chondroitin molecules are specialized polysaccharides (i.e., chains
of certain sugars). In the cartilage of joints glucosamine is incorporated into
longer chains known as glycosaminoglycans; these are then combined with chondroitin
to form very large structures known as proteoglycans. It is thought that proteoglycans
are needed for maintaining and repairing damage to the joint cartilage, and
for attracting water into the joint space for lubrication during movement.
Many studies have shown a clear benefit of glucosamine supplements in reducing
pain and improving range of motion in arthritic joints. Other studies have demonstrated
that arthritis patients taking chondroitin sulfate show improvements of at least
50% in measurements such as pain level, joint stiffness and walking speed.
This product combines the KCl salt of glucosamine sulfate with chondroitin
sulfate in the ratio typically used for joint improvement. The average daily
dose of 3 capsules is usually taken as three separate one-capsule doses several
hours apart, but it is quite possible that the capsules can be taken all at
once with no loss of benefit. Higher doses may work faster, but this has not
been definitely established.
