Glucosamine Sulphate
There are 143 different joints in the human body, all of which fall into one of three categories: fixed, slightly moveable, or highly mobile. The structure of the different highly mobile joints (also called synovial joints) is much the same, and all include the following key elements:
Joint capsule - a tough membrane or `sack` that encloses the joint and connects one bone to another, holding them firmly in place;
There are 143 different joints in the human body, all of which fall into one of three categories: fixed, slightly moveable, or highly mobile. The structure of the different highly mobile joints (also called synovial joints) is much the same, and all include the following key elements:
Joint capsule - a tough membrane or `sack` that encloses the joint and connects one bone to another, holding them firmly in place;
Synovium - the inner
lining of the joint capsule, which secretes synovial fluid to help lubricate and nourish the cartilage;
Cartilage - caps the ends of the bones leading into the joint, allowing free movement and preventing the bones from grinding against each other;
Ligaments - attach the bones together, providing stable movement;
Muscles - provide
movement for the bones by contracting and
relaxing , and also offer shock absorbing properties around the joint;
Bursae - small, fluid-filled sacs positioned at strategic points to cushion ligaments and tendons, protecting them against friction and wear-and-tear.
Highly mobile joints have a complex structure and are often exposed to a high level of stress. The health of these joints is therefore critical, in order to allow full and free movement.
Age, injury and disease all deplete the body`s level of Glucosamine, an amino sugar, which is vital to the body`s connective tissue. Ligaments, tendons, joints and bones of the body literally depend upon Glucosamine for repair and regeneration. Over 50 clinical studies support the efficacy of Glucosamine.
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino acid formed in the body from glutamic acid and glucose. It is the nutrient specific to connective tissue, so it is important for the maintenance of joints and muscles. The major function of Glucosamine is to stimulate the manufacture of cartilage components called glycoaminoglycans (GAGS) and proteoglycans PG`s).
What is Glucosamine?
Glucosamine is a naturally-occurring , non-toxic biochemical constituent, formed in the body from glucose and L-glutamine.
How does Glucosamine work?
Glucosamine exists naturally in the body as an amino sugar. The role of Glucosamine within the body is to act as a precursor or basic building block that lays down the foundation for the regeneration and growth of the connective tissue matrix around the joints. This matrix includes tendons, ligaments, cartilage, synovial fluid (the cushioning fluid that surrounds the joints), spinal disks, and mucous membranes.
Why should I take Health Perception Glucosamine?
The unique Health Perception formulation is the result of many years of research by Professor Demopolis of New York University Medical School. Together with 750mg of Glucosamine Sulphate, the product also provides a mix of other essential nutrients, including vitamin C (to maintain the health of the tissues around the joint), calcium (to maintain the health and strength of the bones that make up the joint), and manganese (to assist the absorption of calcium into the bones of the joint).
Each High Strength Glucosamine tablet is formulated to contain 1000mg of Glucosamine 2KCL which when absorbed by the body provides a full 750mg of pure Glucosamine Sulphate.
