Glucosamine Provides Long-Range Healing
A medical study, conducted on 30 people, revealed the long-lasting effects of glucosamine.
The patients took 400 mg of glucosamine sulfate for one week, then one group took
glucosamine capsules while the other group took a placebo for the following two weeks.
Researchers discovered that those who remained on glucosamine for the entire period
improved dramatically, while those taken off the glucosamine regressed, but not to
pre-treatment level.
Glucosamine helps the manufacture of collagen, the protein part of a
fibrous substance that holds your joints together. Collagen is the major component of the
shock-absorbing cushion "articular cartilage" which is the white smooth surface
that covers the ends of your body joints like fingers, wrists, knees, and others.
Glucosamine helps bind water in the body's cartilage matrixes. It has been
shown to increase collagen and normalize cartilage metabolism, to help keep your cartilage
from breaking down. Glucosamine can kick start the production of cartilage main elements
and protect them at the same time.
