FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Blackmores Glucosamine Sulfate 1500mg contains the most scientifically validated form of glucosamine to provide effective osteoarthritic pain relief and helps reduce cartilage wear.
Glucosamine and sulfate are natural components found in the cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. Glucosamine is a major joint support nutrient that stimulates the manufacture of substances called aggrecans. Aggrecans are important for the elasticity, resilience and shock-absorbing properties of cartilage. Synovial fluid is the lubricating fluid inside our joints.
Clinical trials have shown that 1500 mg glucosamine sulfate as sodium chloride complex significantly improves pain and functionality in osteoarthritis. Results show a decrease in pain of 20-41%, and improved functionality of 21-46%. In addition, glucosamine sulfate may have a long-term protective effect, acting to reduce cartilage wear and slow the progression of osteoarthritis. An eight-year study on 275 patients, published in 2008, found that supplementation with 1500 mg/day of glucosamine sulfate for at least one year reduced the risk of knee replacement to approximately half that of the placebo group. The same study also found in a sub-group analysis that patients who had previously taken glucosamine sulfate used significantly less medications & health resources for osteoarthritis symptoms.
