Glucosamine and Chondroitin
(Soon to be known as Jointflex Daily Tablets (With Manganese and Bioflavanoids)
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.
Age, injury and disease all deplete the body`s level of Glueasamine, 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.
Chondroitin Sulphate exists in the body in the form of chains of repeating sugars, and is known as the `liquid magnet` this is because Chondroitin Sulphate helps to attract fluid into the joint.
The fluid in the joint, known as `synovial fluid` the helps to cushion the joint, acting as a spongy shock absorber. The fluid also helps to attract the nutrients into the joint, that are needed by cartilage. This is a particularly important function, because cartilage lacks a blood supply, and relies on the synovial fluid for all its nourishment and lubrication.
What is Glucosamine & Chondroitin?
Glucosamine is a naturally-occurring , non-toxic biochemical constituent, formed in the body from glucose and L-glutamine.
Chondroitin is found naturally in the body in the form of molecules known as mucopolysaccharides. These molecules attract and hold water, thereby giving cartilage its elasticity and fluidity.
How does Glucosamine & Chondroitin work?
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 tissues around the joints.
Chondroitin works with Glucosamine in the body, by behaving like a `liquid magnet` within the joint. Chondroitin actually helps to repel the molecules produced by Glucosamine, and this action creates tiny spaces that form the matrix of the cartilage.
Why should I take Glucosamine & Chondroitin?
