Glucosamine Sulfate by Ortho Molecular Products – Joint Comfort and Cartilage Support
Glucosamine Sulfate by Ortho Molecular Products is a dietary supplement that helps maintain healthy connective tissue and joint comfort. As a precursor to chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid, both naturally occurring in the synovial fluid of cartilage, Glucosamine Sulfate supports joint integrity and movement, helps protect cartilage cells, and supports a healthy inflammatory response in the joints.
Glucosamine is an aminomonosaccharide found in nearly all human tissues, including cartilage, and is the principal building block of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) that form the matrix of connective tissue. This formula also helps enhance the synthesis of proteoglycans important for healthy connective tissue.
Key Glucosamine Sulfate Benefits
- Supports joint integrity and movement
- Helps protect cartilage cells
- Enhances synthesis of proteoglycans for healthy connective tissue
- Helps maintain normal inflammatory balance in the joints
How Glucosamine Sulfate Works
Glucosamine sulfate's main physiological effect is to stimulate production of glycosaminoglycans and support incorporation of sulfur into cartilage, helping maintain its gel-like, shock-absorbing structure. Research suggests glucosamine also helps modulate cytokine production and directly supports chondrocytes, the cartilage cells responsible for producing and maintaining a healthy cartilage matrix, while helping maintain normal inflammatory balance.
Glucosamine Sulfate is manufactured in an FDA-inspected facility and is free of artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives.
