Glucosamine Sulfate
Glucosamine sulphate is an amino sugar. Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage. Hyaline cartilage or articular cartilage encapsulates our bone ends providing a smooth frictionless surface. Glucosamine sulphate is a normal constituent of glycoaminoglycans (GAG), which makes up connective tissue and when combined with a protein creates proteoglycans. These molecules have the ability to retain moisture and in effect supply the cushioning for our joints.
Based on human research, there is good evidence to support the use of glucosamine sulphate in the treatment of mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee. Platinum Naturals' Glucosamine Sulphate is sodium free making it suitable for people on sodium restricted diets.
