Healthy Stable Glucosamine 1kg

Just like in humans, glucosamine has shown great effect as a supplement in horses. Glucosamine is a key molecule used in the formation of cartilage in joints. Glucosamine is used to manufacture glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are combinations of proteins and sugars, and are found in a variety of tissues, including blood plasma, joints, and the mucosal (mucous membrane) lining of a variety of organs, including the gastrointestinal tract and the bladder.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), which is a substance that attaches to collagen and elastin to form cartilage. HA not only helps keep the cartilage that cushions joints strong and flexible, but also helps increase supplies of joint-lubricating synovial fluid.

Clinical studies have shown glucosamine supplementation to be extremely effective in the reduction of DJD (degenerative joint disease in horses), osteoarthritis and other joint related illness.

Glucosamine supplements helps to manufacture more HA which deliver nutrients to cells and carry toxins from cells that do not have a blood supply, such as those found in cartilage; without adequate amounts of HA, the joints will become brittle and deteriorate.

Glucosamine is an effective supplement to help ease the symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, as well as other disorders associated with a breakdown of the cartilage regenerative process. Glucosamine supplements are produced from two main sources, one method using shellfish, and the other is the distillation of plant based glucosamine in corn and other vegetables.
