Glucosamine supplements from Pharma Nord are intended to support cartilage and bones. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring molecule produced by the body, but levels reduce as we get older. In addition, the product contains vitamin C which contributes to collagen formation for normal functioning of bones and cartilage. Supplements are the best source of additional glucosamine, as there are no food sources of this nutrient. Glucosamine benefits include maintaining healthy joints while supporting cartilage and bones. Joint tissues are susceptible to damage as a result of the normal ageing process, lifting heavy weights, participation in sports, or as a consequence of work-related repetitive movements. Glucosamine is used within the body to form more complex molecules (proteoglycans) necessary for the maintenance and repair of joint cartilage and related issues (ligaments, tendons). Glucosamine benefits may also increase proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage cells (chondrocytes), as well as inhibiting the action of the enzymes normally responsible for the degradation of cartilage.
