General information about our Glucosamine:
Glucosamine occurs naturally in the joints and muscles of our bodies, and research has shown that it plays a vital role
in the smooth working of cartilage,ligaments and tendons.
Cartilage is needed by the body to prevent bones from rubbing together and for absorbing shock when we walk and move.
As the body ages, however, the level of glucosamine naturally found in cartilage decreases,
which may lead to reduced amounts of cartilage existing between joints.
Glucosamine as a dietary supplement has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years
and is one of the most popular supplements in the UK.
Scientific studies have found that in the body, glucosamine helps
in the rebuilding and maintenance of cartilage.
At Purely Health Direct, we only ever use marine-sourced Glucosamine (never bovine),
in the form glucosamine sulphate 2KCL.
This means that the glucosamine has been bound with potassium chloride,
which helps to stabilize the formulation, in a ratio of approximately 3:1.
