Glucosamine Posts

I have noted quite a number of net resources advocating glucosamine for damaged joints, including osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is basically a sugar molecule with substitutions, and in culture it may be very beneficial to the cartilage cells that make the matrix we walk upon. So glucosamine is a good thing. BUT....there is really no evidence I know of that shows orally administered glucoamine gets to the target; that is the joints. Don't forget, everything we eat must go thru the stomach etc., hopefully wind up in the blood, and then be carried around the body. So supplements do no good unless they get to the target.

As far as I know there are no injectable glucosamine preparations at the present time. Oral glucosamine does not, in all probability, make it to the target.

HI,

Supplements that contain ingredients such as
glucosomine
can help the body build up cartilage and avoid further loss
