As we grow older, our joint’s cartilage becomes more susceptible to wear-and-tear and body’s ability to manufacture Glucosamine reduces. Therefore Glucosamine supplementation becomes necessary for building the cartilage. The Cartilage protects the joints from rubbing against one another; when the cartilage is worn out, the joints can get inflamed, resulting in a condition called osteoarthritis. This condition affects persons mostly over the age of 55, obese people, athletes and people that over use their joints. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are synergistic natural ingredients useful for relieving osteoarthritic pain. Scientific studies have shown that Glucosamine can actually regenerate new cartilage, helping to re-establish the cushion between joints in the knees and hips. Meanwhile, the nutrient Chondroitin acts as a water magnet, helping to bring required fluids and nutrients to the cartilage. Chondroitin also helps to prevent harmful enzymes from eroding cartilage and assists Glucosamine Sulfate in the stimulation of new cartilage growth.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are substances naturally present in cartilage, collagen, bones and synovial fluid in the joints. They are rarely found in the foods we eat, as we don’t often eat cartilage or bones! In supplements, glucosamine is often sourced from crustaceans (although vegetarian sources are available), and chondroitin is usually sourced from animal cartilage. They can be found together in supplements, or on their own (primarily glucosamine), or in a combination with other joint-supporting ingredients.
