Glucosamine Sulfate Capsules
Function and Efficacy
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of articular cartilage caused by abnormal biosynthesis of proteoglycans. The active ingredient of this product, glucosamine sulfate, is a normal component of cartilage matrix polysaccharide chains and synovial fluid polyglucosamine, which can stimulate chondrocytes to synthesize physiological polyglucosamine and proteoglycans, and stimulate synovial cells to synthesize hyaluronic acid. In addition, this product can also inhibit the activity of enzymes that damage cartilage, such as collagenase and phospholipase A2. Therefore, this product shows a mild anti-inflammatory effect. However, unlike non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucosamine sulfate does not inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins.
