ABOUT GLUCOSAMINE
Studies have proven the effectiveness of Glucosamine in the relief of pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, and optimal healing for joints.
There are three components of connective tissue that make up ligaments, cartilage, tendons and spinal discs. These are water, collagen and a long chain made up mainly by glucose and an amino acid called Glutamine. Glucose and Glutamine are known as Glucosamine.
Glucosamine forms proteoglycans, a substance which provides structure and flexibility to tissues such as bone, cartilage, skin, hair and bones. If there is an injury to joints or bones, or a nutritional sliding characteristics and the end of bones do not glide smoothly across each other. Inflammation results due to damage of cartilage cushion.
ABOUT MSM
MSM provides naturally occurring organic sulphur. It is one of the principal elements found in the body and a constituent of all proteins. It is essential for maintaining the structure of body proteins; the formation of keratin and collagen for healthy bones and skin; the production of immunoglobulins for the immune system; the reactions which convert food into energy and the elimination of toxins from the body.
Studies on MSM have shown to following benefits:-
- Analgesia and pain relief
- Anti-inflammatory
- Builds and maintains healthy joints through it’s effects on collagen
- Reduces muscle spasms and relieves muscle soreness
- Helps normalise the immune system
- Readily absorbed orally and through skin
- Dilates blood vessels and improves circulation
- Normalises bowel function
- Adjusts body pH
- Needed for bile production and the formation of Taurine
Glucosamate is recommended as a supplement, and with the necessary nutritional co-factors such as Vitamin C, minerals, and amino acids, it may provide the optimal healing nutrients for painful joints, muscle soreness or skin problems.
If you have an allergy to crustaceans do not take this supplement.
