GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices Successful treatment of
osteoarthritis must effectively control pain and should slow down or reverse
the progression of the degeneration. Biochemical and pharmacological data
combined with animal and human studies demonstrate that glucosamine sulphate is
capable of satisfying both of these criteria. It has been suggested that
the inability of the body to manufacture glucosamine is one of the major
factors contributing to degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. Conventional Therapy Non-steroidal
Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID's), the most common therapy for arthritis, often
causes gastrointestinal bleeding and can accelerate the destructive nature of
osteoarthritis. Studies consistently show that compared to NSAID's, long-term
reductions in pain are greater in patients receiving glucosamine sulphate.
Unlike NSAID's, glucosamine is better tolerated and has none of the
gastrointestinal side effects. Glucosamine Described Glucosamine is the most
fundamental building block required for biosynthesis of connective tissue, such
as the cartilage found in joints. Glucosamine can be found in many different
tissues in the body such as the surface of the cells, ligaments and tendons.
Therapeutically, glucosamine is used to stimulate the biosynthesis of the
glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) and the hyaluronic acid backbone needed for the
formation of proteoglycans, compounds that comprise the structural matrix of joints.
Glucosamine is also required for the formation of lubricants and protective
agents such as mucin and mucous secretions. One of its key effects is to also
stimulate the incorporation of sulfur into cartilage. Studies have shown that up
to 98% of ingested glucosamine sulphate is absorbed by the body. D-Glucosamine Described However, all glucosamine
sulphate products are not the same. Most commercially available glucosamine
products are of very low purity and generally contain both D and L stereoisomer
forms of the glucosamine molecule.
Commercially available
products will normally contain D-glucosamine and L-glucosamine in an
approximately 50/50 ratio. However, glucosamine exists and is incorporated in
the body only as D-glucosamine. Hence the L-glucosamine sulphate is wasted.
Since glucosamine is sold by weight, a capsule containing 500 mg of
D-glucosamine provides twice the dose of bioavailable glucosamine when compared
to an identical capsule consisting of regular D/L glucosamine sulphate. Our Company Integra Nutrition Inc. is
