HealthAid Glucosamine Sulphate Tablets

Glucosamine is found naturally in the body. It is an amino sugar (aminomonosaccharide – amino = protein; monosaccharide = simple sugar) which contains sulphur and is used for growth and repair of connective tissues, joints and cartilage. It is found actually in the cartilage, but less so as we age. Glucosamine isn’t the only substance in cartilage that diminishes though). The cartilage gets thinner, leading to onset and/or progression of arthritis. Glucosamine, when taken either orally or by IV injection, goes into the blood stream and then is taken up by the tissues. There it ... more

These days many people choose to take glucosamine sulphate - I know lots of people who take it in the hope that it will do them some good. From talking to people, I thought that it might be useful to find out how to take it. I hope you find this useful.... WHAT DOES IT DO? Glucosamine Sulphate "helps to maintain healthy joints, tendons, muscles and ligaments" (this is the only way that manufacturers can tell you what is does according to food law). What is really meant, is that glucosamine sulphate forms part of the structure of a jelly like substance (a carbohydrate) called GAG, or ... more

It was a silly thing to do! Last autumn, whilst stripping the drooping leaves from my Yucca trees sitting either side of the rose arch in my garden, I yanked too hard and fell down three stone steps resulting in a nasty collision with the steps and my right knee. At first I was only concerned in cleaning the wound and soon forgot about the incident as the scab gradually disappeared. It was in early spring this year that alarm bells rang. My right knee flared up, became swollen and hurt me. Going up and down stairs was very painful. I was forced to make a very rare visit to my GP. He examined ... more

Over the last year or so I have suffered pain in both elbows possibly as a result of getting old and rickety (!) or through taking up exercise. The final decision came over Christmas when I had a recurrance of back pain which I also attributed to similar causes.

My initial source was Holland and Barrett who were doing an offer on Glucosamine and Chondroitin tablets, the combination being regarded as even more ... more

When I was young I used to exercise very frequently and as a result I've suffered from joint pain. Glucosamine is a vital component of the materials used by your body to maintain the cartilage and joints. You only need to take one a day and if you take them in conjunction with Cod Liver Oil your joints should feel better within few weeks. Great for people who exercise frequently, athletes and older people who require some relief from joint pain. I take 750mg with 1000mg Cod Liver Oil. I purchased the Glucosamine "Kleeneze" a cleaning catalogue that comes through the door. They delivered them ... more

I have been using Glucosamine Sulphate on and off for about 2 years now, and I have noticed its benefits. I play a lot of squash, a sport that takes its toll on your joints, especially the knee. Whilst using Glucosamine, I have noticed that I am not as likely to get an injury, or if I already have an injury, it heals a lot quicker and stronger. I would recommend its use to anybody. It is made by a number of supplement companies, each one no different, so if you are susceptible to injuries, give them a go, you wont be disappointed. Also, if used with arnika cream, injuries can be repaired a lot ... more
