GlucosamineHOW IS IT AVAILABLE? Glucosamine is sold as dietary or nutritional supplement. It is extracted from animal tissue: Glucosamine is found from crab, lobster or shrimp shells. USES OF GLUCOSAMINE It has been proven effective in easing osteoarthritis pain, rehabilitating cartilage, renewing synovial fluid, and repairing joints that have been damaged from osteoarthritis. Each person and animal produces a certain amount of glucosamine within their bodies. As one grows older, the body loses the capacity to make enough glucosamine , so the cartilage in the weight-bearing joints, such as the hips, knees, and hands is destroyed, then hardens and forms bone spurs, causing pain, deformed joints, limited joint movement and limping. ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS? The most common side effects are increased intestinal gas and softened stools. If you experience these problems, you might want to try another supplement brand before you stop using them altogether. HOW DOES IT WORK? A healthy cartilage requires water for lubrication and nourishment, proteoglycans to attract and hold the water, and collagen to keep the proteoglycans in place. Proteoglycans are like a rope that threads itself through the collage and are essential as they hold many times their own weight of water, which both lubricates and nourishes the collagen. glucosamine is a building block for the synthesis of proteoglycans, its mere presence acts as a stimulus to the cells that produce proteoglycans - in fact glucosamin e is a key factor in determining how many proteoglycans are produced by the cells. Glucosamine has been shown to speed up production of both proteoglycans and collagen and it normalizes cartilage metabolism which helps keep cartilage from breaking down.
