Glucosamine is an amino sugar produced from the shells of chitin (shellfish) and is a key component of the extracellular matrix of cartilage. Glucosamine works to stimulate joint function and repair. Glucosamine has been clinically proven to slow the progression of osteoarthritis in humans and arthritis and hip dysplasia in pets. It has been proven effective in easing osteoarthritis pain, rehabilitating cartilage, renewing synovial fluid, and repairing joints that have been damaged from osteoarthritis. Our bodies produce Glucosamine naturally. However, as we grow older we lose the ability to produce sufficient quantities. Having enough Glucosamine is essential to producing the nutrients we need to produce Synovial fluid. It is this fluid which lubricates our cartilage and maintains healthy joints. When you have a Glucosamine deficiency, cartilage hardens and bone spurs develop. This leads to deformities in the joints and it begins to limit your mobility. In short, this is how osteoarthritis develops.
Chondroitin Sulfate serves to attract fluids into proteoglycan molecules which assists you in two ways.
First, it draws nutrients into your cartilage.
Secondly, it increases the flow of fluid into your cartilage to add resiliency. It also serves to protect existing cartilage from premature degeneration by blocking "bad" enzymes that destroy cartilage and as well, prevent nutrient replenishment. Chondroitin Sulfate is a naturally occurring component of cartilage that aids in the lubrication and cushioning of joints. Chondroitin also provides structure and flexibility to your joints.
