What Is Glucosamine? Glucosamine is a natural molecule made by the body,
composed of glucose and an amine (nitrogen and two molecules of hydrogen). Research
shows that glucosamineplays a key role in helping to keep all
the joints the body lubricated and supple. It stimulates the manufacture of glycosaminoglycans, key structural components
in cartilage which line the joints. Glucosamine also promotes the incorporation of sulfur into cartilage.
Because of this effect, research shows that glucosamine sulfate is the most effective form.
The Glucosamine-Arthritis Connection
As people age, many lose their ability to manufacture sufficient amounts of glucosamine. This may be the major factor leading
to the degeneration of the joints, which causes painful joint movement and destruction of the joint's cartilage. Glucosamine's
link to the joints led many researchers to wonder what would happen if those with painful joints took glucosamine? The results
were astonishing. Oral glucosamine(in the sulfate form) proved
to be spectacular help for joint repair and rebuilding.
Degenerative Joint Disease
As the body ages, it may not produce a sufficient amount of glucosamine. This can result in cartilage that loses its ability to
act as a shock absorber in the joints. The joints then become stiff and painful. Every step or joint movement can be an agony.
This process is often diagnosed as degenerative joint disease, such as osteoarthritis,
the most common form of arthritis. The affected joints show gradual destruction of the joint's cartilage followed by the
formation of large, abnormal bone spurs in the joint margins. The joints become very painful with limited range of motion and in time,
they may become deformed.
