USER'S OPINION
GS-1500 Packets - Orange Flavored, 30 packets, (Enzymatic Therapy)
How It WorksOsteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly progressive disease characterized by a continual breakdown of articular cartilage. The joints most often affected by OA are the knees, hips, spine, and hands. Clinical manifestations of OA include pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion of the affected joints.
Glucosamine is an aminomonosaccharide, a product of the addition of an amino group to glucose. It occurs naturally in the body. Glucosamine is a basic building block for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans (PGs) (giant molecules with many GAGs attached), which are important constituents of the articular cartilage. It also is required for the formation of lubricants and protective agents for the joints. Glucosamine has been reported to stimulate PGs synthesis in articular cartilage, inhibit degradation of PGs, and provide the building blocks to maintain healthy cartilage and joints.
Glucosamine sulfate is the sulfate salt of glucosamine. In solution or in the human body, glucosamine sulfate dissociates into glucosamine and sulfate ions. The sulfate moiety plays an important role in the synthesis of PGs, because the constituent GAGs are highly sulfated. Depletion of sulfate leads to decreased synthesis of GAGs, and sulfate administration counteracts the deleterious effect of sulfate depletion.
Glucosamine sulfate is highly hygroscopic, which means it attracts and absorbs water very easily, by nature. The amino group in the molecule is likely to be oxidized, which causes degradation of the molecule, if it is not stabilized by sodium and chloride. This constitutes a non-hygroscopic substance, which is stable at normal temperature and relative humidity. To date, more than 20 clinical studies using glucosamine sulfate have been reported, with nearly 3,000 patients receiving either glucosamine sulfate or placebo. These studies show a favorable response to glucosamine sulfate vs. placebo in supporting healthy joint function.
FAQ
What is the source of the glucosamine in GS-1500 ?
The glucosamine sulfate in GS-1500 is extracted from chitin, a hard, cellulose-like compound that is the main component in external shells of crustaceans such as shrimp.
Can people who have a shellfish allergy take glucosamine sulfate?
Based on laboratory analysis, which has showed that shellfish proteins are undetectable, most people with shellfish allergies will still be able to take this product. However, highly sensitive individuals should check with their doctors before taking any of our glucosamine products.
Is the glucosamine sulfate in GS-1500 stabilized?
Yes. The glucosamine sulfate in GS-1500 is stabilized with sodium chloride. Glucosamine must be stabilized and absorbable to see results. Unstable forms of glucosamine can have less than a 90-day shelf life.
