What is Glucosamine Gel?
Glucosamine is a naturally-ocurring, non-toxic biochemical constituent, formed in the body from glucose and L-glutamine. Glucosamine Gel is a topical formulation containing Glucosamine, and can be applied directly to the joints.
How does Glucosamine Gel 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 use Glucosamine Gel?
Glucosamine Gel has been developed with the University of Brighton Department of pharmacy, and contains a specialist form of Glucosamine called `N-Acetyl glucosamine` that is raedily absorbed through the skin.
The Gel can be applied directly to the area around the joints, and is non-sticky and non-greasy. The Gel has been specially formulated to contain menthol for its cooling properties, together with Horse Chestnut extract for its natural anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
Health Perception Glucosamine Gel is a natural formulation and contains no non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID`s) like Ibuprofen. The product is therefore free of the potential side effects often associated with such drugs.
Health Perception Glucosamine Gel has been tested for efficacy and safety. However, if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients or irritation develops, you should discontinue use of this product. Health Perception Glucosamine Gel should not be used on children under 12 years old, or during pregnanacy.
