Glucosamine Plus is from the Douglas Labs Bone & Joint product line.
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar found ubiquitously in glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans. Glycosaminoglycans, formerly named mucopolysaccharides, are an integral component of all connective tissues.
Connective tissue, a fibrous type of body tissue, supports and connects internal organs (ligaments), forms bone, cartilage, and the walls of blood vessels, attaches muscles to bones (tendons), and replaces tissues that have been damaged following injury.
The two main components of connective tissue are collagen and proteoglycans. Collagen is the strong, fibrous protein that physically connects our tissues. Proteoglycans are large carbohydrate, rich structures, resembling a bottlebrush in three-dimensional structure, a central protein rod with many strings of glucosamine - containing glycosaminogly - cans extending outwards.
Chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan formed in the body, is also used for the synthesis and support of normal connective tissue, primarily within the cartilage matrix. In addition, chondroitin sulfate protects existing cartilage by reducing water loss from the matrix and by inhibiting the enzymatic breakdown of the cartilage.
In summary, glucosamine sulfate is a well-documented , highly effective source of glucosamine for glycosaminoglycan and proteoglycan synthesis in all connective tissues. Chondroitin sulfate is an excellent source of n-acetylgalactoaminoglycan for synthesis and protection of proteoglycans associated with cartilage tissues.
As a dietary supplement, adults take 1 capsule three times daily or as directed by your healthcare professional.
