Glucosamine (one of the UK’s leading supplements) is made up of glucose and an amino acid called ‘glutamine’ and is produced in the body to help manufacture specialised molecules called ‘glycosaminoglycans’ (GAGs), which are important for the development of bone, tendons, ligaments, nails, hair, skin and cartilage (the gel-like material that cushions joints).

The latter means that Glucosamine is highly beneficial in protecting against degeneration of the joints and giving relief from the discomfort associated with arthritis (the two most common types being Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis). According to the Arthritis Research Campaign some 8.9 million British people (19% of the population) have seen their GP for arthritis-related conditions whilst many more cases go untreated.  Collagen is a substance naturally produced by the body and is essential for building and repairing joints and ligaments as well as reducing inflammation and stiffness.

As we age, Collagen production can decrease substantially, which results in the body failing to produce enough for its needs. Collagen has been the subject of intense media attention. The Daily Mail reported in August 2003 that research was conducted on 400 patients with arthritic knees. Some got a placebo while others were treated with Collagen. The Collagen group showed significant reduction in pain and an improvement in joint mobility, with 93% achieving positive results, some only after 2 weeks. Collagen is considered compatible with Glucosamine and the two make an ideal combination.
