USANA GLUCOSAMINE - SUPPORT FOR CARTILAGE AND JOINTS

Every day your joints endure an enormous amount of stress from physical activity, including walking, lifting, and typing. Despite this heavy and constant use, we take our joints for granted and expect them to function trouble-free for several decades. However, millions of people in the United States and Canada suffer from some form of joint problem. The situation is worse for athletes and those who have high amounts of physical stress at work and at home.

Cartilage is the protective layer that cushions and lubricates the joints. Over the years, the cartilage in our joints is gradually worn down due to normal physical activity. The body rebuilds the cartilage as it is worn and replaces shock-absorbing synovial fluid, so the joints are always protected. For various reasons, however, the production of new cartilage and synovial fluid can fall behind demand. Because of poor blood supply, lesions to articular cartilage do not heal at the same rate as other tissue in the body; cartilage is rebuilt slowly. And if components of the substances used for cartilage repair are in short supply, the recovery from damage can be slowed even more.
