Vegetarian Glucosamine
Ref: 3418
Glucosamine plays an essential role in the repair of cartilage in the joints, but there are no major food sources of glucosamine. This becomes a problem if the body does not produce enough itself. Glucosamine is not a pain killer; it works to repair the joints in a natural way. Glucosamine may help arthritis sufferers. Researchers have also suggested glucosamaine supplements may improve the appearance of ageing skin.
Glucosamine is essential for maintaining healthy cartilage, the smooth tissue that lines joints. There are no major food sources, except for crabs, oysters and the shells of prawns. These sources are unsuitable for vegetarians and those with shellfish allergies.
Glucosamine (pronounced glue-KOSE-a-mean) is involved in the repair of cartilage. Studies have shown that glucosamine provides significant relief from pain and inflammation for about half of arthritis sufferers. It appears to be particularly effective in people suffering wear-and-tear arthritis as they get older.
It has also been found to help some people with rheumatoid arthritis and other types of joint injuries.
It may also help prevent long-term injuries in some athletes.
It can take from 2-8 weeks for any benefit from taking glucosamine to be evident - it is not a pain killer, but is taken to help the body repair itself.
