EnergyFirst - Glucosamine Chondroitin - ef1730
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar synthesized in the body from L-glutamine and glucose. As a supplement, glucosamine comes in several different forms of which the sulfated, hydrochloric acid, and N-acetylated are commonly available. Amino sugars are the key components of larger compounds called glycosaminoglycans and glycoproteins that allow cells in tissues to hold together. They are necessary for the construction and maintenance of virtually all connective tissues and lubricating fluids in the body. In particular, N-acetyl glucosamine is the final form which together with glucuronic acid is polymerized to make the joint lubricant, hyaluronic acid. Note: Glucosamine is derived from shellfish. Chondroitin sulfates provide the structural components of joint cartilage, inhibit free radical enzymes that degrade joint cartilage and collagen, and facilitate the entry of glucosamine into inflamed joints. Like glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate attracts water into the cartilage
