Glucosamine is important for many functions in the body. It is particularly necessary wherever there is a need for lubrication such as the joints and bowel. Conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Degenerative Joint conditions require an increased amount of lubrication. Studies suggest supplementing with Glucosamine may support your body in the production of lubrication and help provide relief. Glucosamine HCL is a great supplement for joggers, body builders, and anyone with joint concerns.

Your body naturally produces glucosamine. It is a building bloc for many of your body structures such as cartilages, tendons, mucus membranes, etc. It is specially present anywhere there is need for lubricant: joints (synovial fluid), air ways and bowel (mucus). Sometimes the need for glucosamine exceeds your capacity to produce it. It is the case in problems like arthrosis and inflammatory bowel disease. The glucosamine hydrochloride supplements may then help your body to produce more lubricant.

According to studies, glucosamine hydrochloride provides a lasting relief with almost no side effects for joint problems such as arthrosis and joint cracking. Joggers, body builders and other athletes may also benefit from glucosamine hydrochloride supplements to prevent articulation problems (wearing down, cracking.

Maintaining Joint Health with Glucosamine 

When scientists first began studying glucosamine and chondroitin in the 1970s, they were amazed that no only did the subjects experience less pain, but also - and more importantly-  their formerly degenerating cartilage had begun to repair itself.  When they took a closer look at the way glucosamine and chondroitin were actually working to reduce pain and repair cartilage, they found that both of them were extremely important for normal joint health.

They found that glucosamine and chondroitin are both building blocks for the molecules that make up tendons, ligaments, bones, and synovial fluid.

They also supply a very important molecule called "proteo-glycans", a substance in joint cartilage.  The problem they found was that with age, the ability to regenerate and restore joint structure begins to fail, often due to a decrease in the natural production of glucosamine sulfate in the body.  This deficiency causes the production of new joint and connective tissue to slow, causing it to both weaken. The result is pain and stiffness.
