Glucosamine 500mg
Glucosamine HCL is a compound found naturally in the body, made from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is needed to produce glycosaminoglycan, a molecule used in the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Production of glucosamine slows with age.
Our Glucosamine HCL supplements are manufactured in a laboratory from chitin, a substance
found in the shells of shrimp, crab, lobster, and other sea creatures. Glucosamine supplements are widely used for osteoarthritis. In osteoarthritis, cartilage -- the rubbery material that cushions joints -- becomes stiff and loses its elasticity. This makes
the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, swelling, loss of movement, and further deterioration.
Why take Glucosamine?
Since
the body's natural glucosamine is used to make and repair joint cartilage, taking glucosamine as a nutritional supplement is thought
to help repair damaged cartilage by augmenting the body's supply of glucosamine. Other conditions for which glucosamine is used
include rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), chronic venous insufficiency, and
skin conditions. Glucosamine, unlike pain relievers such as Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory, can actually help to prevent the
destruction of the cartilage causing the pain in osteoarthritis.
Glucosamine could assist the body in:
Ø improving joint mobility
Ø assisting in the reduction of pain from osteoarthritis
Ø slows the progression of osteoarthritis
Ø assist with the repair
of joint cartilage
Ø decrease joint inflammation
Ø speeds up recovery
Ø assists with inflammatory bowel disease

Side Effects and Safety of Glucosamine
Most
studies involving humans have found that short-term use of glucosamine is well tolerated. Since glucosamine supplements are
made from shellfish, people with allergies to shellfish should avoid glucosamine. People with bleeding disorders, those taking
anti-clotting or anti-platelet medication, such as Warfarin, Clopidogrel, and Ticlid, should not take glucosamine unless under
the supervision of a healthcare provider. The safety of glucosamine in pregnant or nursing women is not known. Always
consult your doctor before taking supplements.
