Your body uses glucosamine, a natural compound, to create one of the main building blocks of joint cartilage -- proteoglycans. As you age, the amount of glucosamine created by the body decreases. This causes cartilage and bones to scrape against each other. Joints become damaged, and the lubricating synovial fluid in joint spaces becomes thin and watery. Supplementing your diet with glucosamine will help to replenish these fluids. All glucosamine supplements are NOT the same. To ensure effective absorption and tissue utilization, it#146;s highly recommended that you take glucosamine in the sulfate form. This is the way glucosamine is found in the body, and it lacks any known toxicity. Advocates of other forms of glucosamine, such as N-Acetyl glucosamine (NAG) and glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL), claim their products are as effective, but science does not substantiate their claims. NSI#146;s formulas are based on the scientific research that has shown the positive effects of glucosamine sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate has demonstrated absorption rates as high as 98%. Numerous researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that glucosamine sulfate is superior to NAG in terms of absorption and utilization by a factor of two to one. Research also does not support the use of HCL. The sulfur component of glucosamine sulfate (not present in the HCL form) may be critical to the beneficial effects. Finally, scientific studies clearly show that glucosamine sulfate is better utilized and the most effective form for the human body versus any other form of this nutrient. Chondroitin sulfate attracts and holds large amounts of water to the cartilage-building proteoglycan molecules. Since cartilage has no blood supply, this fluid is necessary to nourish and lubricate joints. The Scientific Advisory Board at NSI#174; (composed of medical doctors) has developed a revolutionary approach to bio-available technology: UltrAbsorb Technology#174;. It provides speedy assimilation a ...
