Glucosamine Sulphate

BODYCORE GLUCOSAMINE is a substance found naturally in the body. Glucosamine is a form of an amino sugar that is believed to play a role in cartilage formation and repair. It is believed to help people rebuild damaged joints, tendons, cartilage and soft tissue. A major component of soft tissues such as cartilage, ligament, tendon, skin etc is in fact glucosamine. Glucosamine is produced in the body from glucose and the amino acid glutamine, the manufacture of which is the great limiting step in producing the new tissue necessary for healing. Glucosamine stimulates the manufacture of the soft tissue as well as promoting the incorporation of sulphur into the tissue, and is therefore responsible for both the manufacture and proper function of joints and tissue such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Glucosamine is proving to be one of the best weapons in the war against arthritis, painful joints, damaged ligaments and tendons, and even more important, it forms synovial fluid, the substance that helps lubricate the joints. FEATURES * Speeds recovery from soft tissue injury * Assists in forming synovial fluid (lubricates the joints) * Protects cartilage against damage from weight-bearing exercise * Has an anti-inflammatory effect
