Vegetarian GlucosamineRef: 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 (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. Each tablet contains 750 mg of vegetarian glucosamine hydrochloride. Most glucosamine supplements come from shellfish, but this supplement is manufactured from a vegetable source (corn/maize) that undergoes a special fermentation process. It is readily absorbed by the body through the intestine. It does not contain any shell fish, so is completely safe for anyone with a shell fish allergy.
