Product Details
Nearly all glucosamine sulfate supplements are created using shellfish by-products, which can cause mild to severe allergy issues for many people. In recognition of this problem, Enerex Vegan Glucosamine Sulfate is produced using non-GMO corn starch so that those who suffer from seafood allergies or those who follow a vegan diet now have a GLS product to turn to.
Glucosamine Sulfate is a key amino sugar normally formed in humans from glucose. It is the starting point for the synthesis of many important macromolecules, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycos-aminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides). A deficiency of glucosamine can reduce the rate of production of these important macromolecules, thereby leading to specific tissue weakness. In certain cases of trauma to the tissues, the amount of glucosamine normally synthesised by the body is insufficient. The tissues containing these glucosamine macromolecules include tendons and ligaments, cartilage, synovial fluid, mucous membranes, several structures in the eye, blood vessels, and heart valves.
There have been numerous studies showing the beneficial effects of Glucosamine Sulfate and its relationship with the symptoms of Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. There are many over-the-counter medications available to relieve arthritis symptoms, yet conventional medicine has nothing to offer in terms of controlling or reversing the condition. In fact, there is evidence that long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) actually accelerate joint destruction in patients with Osteoarthritis, by interfering with the body’s healing mechanism. Glucosamine Sulfate is not an analgesic or an anti-inflammatory agent. Rather, it appears to halt the disease process. Improvements occur more slowly with Glucosamine Sulfate than with over-the-counter arthritis medications (NSAIDs), but eventually Glucosamine overtakes the NSAIDs in terms of effectiveness.
Glucosamine Sulfate is a stable, tasteless and water soluble nutrient which is virtually free of side effects and contra-indications. Having a relatively small molecular weight of 211, it is readily absorbed from the intestines, stays in the blood for several hours, and very little is excreted. In contrast, conventional arthritis medications can cause relatively severe side effects.
