Gold Glucosamine® 1000 is a high-quality formula containing high concentrations of glucosamine sulfate and vitamin C, that contributes to normal collagen formation and the normal function of bones and cartilage. Each capsule contains a very high dose of glucosamine sulphate 2KCl 1000 mg enriched with vitamin C.
Gold Glucosamine® contains a natural extract derived from crustacean shells – glucosamine sulphate, which promotes the formation of glycosaminoglycans, the main component of articular cartilage.In humans, glucosamine is found in all tissues, but in high concentrations it is found in articular cartilage and connective tissue. By ingesting a complete diet, the human body itself is able to synthesize connective tissue components, however with age, as well as in the case of metabolic disorders, cartilage regeneration does not occur completely. Increased physical activity and overweight is an additional strain on the joints, which poses a risk of faster cartilage wear off.
Glucosamine is an important component in the structure of articular cartilage, it:
- promotes the formation of new cartilage,
- reduces further cartilage wear,
- increases the range of motion and improves the function of worn joints (knees, hips, arms, etc.),
Scientific research has shown, that particularly glucosamine sulphate has a positive effect on symptomatic and structural changes in the knee joint. These properties cannot be attributed to other salts of glucosamine (eg glucosamine hydrochloride). (Rheumatology. 2007; 46 (5): 731-735)
Vitamin C promotes the normal functioning of the immune system, promotes the protection of cells against oxidative stress, helps reduce fatigue and weakness, promotes the normal formation of collagen (the main component of connective tissue), which is necessary for the normal functioning of bones, cartilage and blood vessels.
