Glucosamine HCl
(Powder or Capsules)
Pharmaceutical grade ultra micronized for maximum bioavailability.
Glucosamine has been
scientifically proven to promote joint health. Studies indicate that
Glucosamine provides the building blocks for constructing cartilage,
acts as a joint lubricant, nourishes cartilage, and promotes
mobility and flexibility for comfortable movement.*
Glucosamine forms the
building blocks of vital compounds called mucopolysaccharides.
Mucopolysaccharides are necessary for the construction and
maintenance of virtually all connective tissue and lubricating fluid
in the body, including tendons, ligaments, cartilage and synovial
(joint) fluid.
Glucosamine has been
shown in clinical trials for decades to be effective at easing the
joint discomfort and largely increasing flexibility. Some studies
even indicate that Glucosamine may help rebuild cartilage -
something traditional NSAID pain relievers are unable to do. |

Glucosamine is
important for the formation and maintenance of nails, tendons, skin,
eyes, bones, and heart valves it also plays a role in the mucous
secretion of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts.
Glucosamine is an essential element in nutritional treatment of
Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Paget's Disease, and TMJ and is important
for fractures, sprains, strains, and injuries of the muscles and
joints.
Glucosamine (C6H14NO5)
is an amino sugar that is utilized by the body to support healthy
joint structures. It is unlike other sugars in that it is
incorporated into the structure of tissues rather than being used as
an energy source. Glucosamine is an important precursor in the
biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids and
studies indicate that Glucosamine provides the building blocks for
constructing cartilage. Since Glucosamine is a precursor for
glycosaminoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans are a major component of
joint cartilage, supplementing with Glucosamine may help to rebuild
cartilage and treat arthritis. Studies indicate that Glucosamine
provides the building blocks for constructing cartilage.
Glucosamine is ideal for athletes or those with arthritis or joint
pain and is very beneficial as both a preventative measure as well
as for helping to combat existing problems. Glucosamine absorbs and
releases water with each step and thereby acts as a shock absorber
for the joints offering long-term protection for athletes.
UNIVERSITY of MARYLAND SCHOOL of MEDICINE REPORT: Strong evidence
from many well designed trials indicate that Glucosamine
supplementation may be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis. In
general, findings from these studies suggest that Glucosamine
provides several benefits for people suffering from osteoarthritis
including pain reduction (as effective as ibuprofen and other
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), improved function and
mobility, and slowed progression or even prevention of joint
destruction.
In comparison to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Glucosamine
takes longer to begin working. However pain control lasts longer
with Glucosamine and it causes fewer side effects. Nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) may cause stomach upset, cramps,
constipation, diarrhea, and in some cases, stomach ulcers.
Glucosamine HCl or Sulfate: There is discussion
over which of the two Glucosamine salts, hydrochloride or sulfate,
is preferred for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The answer is
straightforward - both salts, in the pure form, deliver
equally effective amounts of the desired Glucosamine to joint
cartilage. Some studies have
shown the HCL to be more effective and some have shown the sulfate
to be more effective, so it would be prudent to either try both
individually and see which one works better for you.
Glucosamine by itself is unstable and needs a carrier molecule such
as sulfate or HCL. In the end its the Glucosamine that offers the
benefit and not the carrier molecule.
