Glucosamine Sulphate 500mg x 370 Tablets DESCRIPTION Glucosamine sulphate is a sulphur containing amino sugar. Glucosamine sulphate is well recognised for its uses in the management of osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis, inflamed joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles and damaged tissues. FUNCTIONS Glucosamine sulphate occurs naturally in the connective tissue and cartilage where it contributes to the mobility, strength and integrity of joint structures. It is also located in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, spinal discs and heart valves. Glucosamine sulphate stimulates the cells that are involved in the production of bone and cartilage. Glucosamine is fundamental in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are responsible for producing the framework on which collagen is built and for protecting against the breakdown of cartilage. Glucosamine sulphate also helps to thicken the lubricating synovial fluid that cushions and supports the joints. Research shows that between 90 and 98% of an oral dose of glucosamine sulphate is absorbed. However, detailed absorption studies on the other forms of glucosamine do not exist. SUGGESTED INTAKES 500-1500 mg daily. For osteoarthritis, 1500mg of Glucosamine Sulphate is recommended for 8 weeks. For health maintenance suggested intake is 500mg. SUPPLEMENTAL USES Glucosamine sulphate is used primarily to maintain the health of the joints. The amino sugar helps to thicken the lubricating synovial fluid that cushions and supports the joints, helping to build and rebuild cartilage. Arthritis:Investigations have shown that glucosamine sulphate is an effective therapy for the management of arthritis. Patients taking 1500mg of glucosamine sulphate daily have experienced partial or even full recovery from the symptoms of osteoarthritis after just 8 weeks of supplementation. Glucosamine works by helping to rebuild damaged cartilage and increase the thickness of the synovial fluid. Arthritic patients noted a positive effect on joint mobility (increased elasticity). Pain and inflammation of the joints has also been relieved using daily intakes of glucosamine sulphate. Wound Healing:The availability of glucosamine is rate- limiting in the production of hyaluronic acid (HA). Administration of glucosamine by mouth after surgery or trauma enhances the HA production in the wound, thereby promoting swifter healing and possibly diminishing complications related to scarring. Crohn’s Disease and Colitis:Glucosamine forms part of the rate- limiting enzyme needed for the synthesis of glycoproteins in the gastrointestinal tract. Activity of the enzyme has been shown to vary in those with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The mechanism by which this process occurs is not known, although it is thought that alterations in the levels of glucosamine may affect the structure of the mucosal membrane. However, the use of supplements containing glucosamine for these conditions requires further studies. SAFETY Glucosamine sulphate can be taken safely on a long-term basis at levels up to 1500mg daily. Mild side effects have been noted in some studies, including nausea, heartburn and headaches. However, many of these side effects were noted in elderly patients which may have been related to pre-existing disorders and their treatments. PRECAUTIONS Diabetics should consult a doctor before taking glucosamine sulphate and should monitor blood sugar levels if taking glucosamine.
