Welcome to my Glucosamine page. Here, you can purchase the natural product glucosamine to enhance your daily life by reducing the pain and discomfort associated with osteoarthritis.
Did you know???
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound, found in the body, and is made up of glucose and the amino acid, glutamine.
As we age, the natural ability of the body to repair itself from the wear and tear of everyday life is reduced. More and more the cartilage, the soft tissue that cushions joints, loses its elasticity and hence the ability to protect joints. As this degradation occurs, it causes damage to local tissue which produces pain, inflammation, loss of mobility and further degradation of the joint. This occurs primarily in the knees but can occur in other bodily joints.
As our body naturally produces glucosamine, one would say, why take further supplementation? This is indeed an excellent question. The human body is a phenomenal organism with the capability to repair itself and recover fully from most naturally occurring traumas. The downside is that as we age, depending on the lifestyle maintained, we lose our ability slowly, to recover from damage caused by the process of living. These also applies to our natural replenishment of compounds designed by the body to run damage control thus necessitating the drive to supplement what we lack naturally or are in short supply of.
That being said, there are a lot of natural products on the market that are really very good at assisting the body in this damage control. One such product is “Swiss Natural” glucosamine. It has the three essential components which are Glucosamine itself to stimulate synthesis of cartilage in the joints reducing degradation and relieving pain and inflammation to the joint, Chondroitin sulphate that works in conjunction with collagen to keep tendons, ligaments, arteries, skin and other tissues strong and resilient and MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) which has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that aid in the relief of symptoms associated with arthritic joints.
There is also lots of evidence that glucosamine is also very good for treating osteoarthritis in the family canine. Most dogs respond very well to these treatments with a couple of weeks to a month so if Rover is starting to exhibit signs of lethargy, constantly lags behind when you take him for a walk or just takes too much time returning to his feet after the afternoon nap, it might be time to consider glucosamine therapy.
As with any type of supplementation, it is important to consult a health care professional to ensure that you are dosing adequately. Also, ensure you consult your family veterinarian to have Rover assessed and find out more information about this very potent product.
