What is Glucosamine?
Glucosamine, also often referred to by its chemical name of Glucosamine Sulphate, is a primary amino sugar that is one of the main structural components in shellfish exoskeletons. Moreover, this is a natural substance found in the body. We naturally produce Glucosamine Sulphate from sugar (glucose) and an amino acid, Glutamine. The production and storage of Glucosamine is significantly limited and thus, it is suggested that the intake of Glucosamine is increased in times of intense work, repair or damage to a joint.
Benefits of Glucosamine
The benefits of Glucosamine relate to the health of bones and joints. The combination of glucose sugar and Glutamine prompts the body to produce glycosaminoglycans, a carbohydrate which acts as a base for the repair of damaged tissue. Glucosamine has been shown to aid the production of synovial fluid (the lubricating oil) in the joint, promoting increased fluidity in the range of movement. This benefits both the general population looking to enhance their joints, and athletes, particularly those who participate in high impact sports.
