Articular cartilage, osteoarthritis and glucosamine

Articular cartilage, osteoarthritis and glucosamine

Arthritis affects approximately 3 million people or 15% of the population in Australia, with osteoarthritis being one of the most common forms of the disease. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that can cause morning stiffness, pain, weakness, inflammation and decreased motion of the joints due to a degeneration of the cartilage within the joints. The incidence of osteoarthritis increases with age and although it is more common in the elderly it is not limited to that age bracket alone.

Glucosamine is produced naturally in the body and is essential for maintaining the health of the joints. It is necessary for the structure and function of the articular cartilage and helps to build, maintain and repair the tendons, ligaments and synovial fluid in the joints. Recently, clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of glucosamine sulfate supplementation in the management of arthritis.
