Glucosamine - Improves Joint Mobility and Eases the Pain of Osteoarthritis

What’s It For?

Clinical trials show that glucosamine sulphate may help reduce joint inflammation and swelling, increase joint mobility and provide temporary relief of the pain of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine sulphate has been shown to be as effective as a leading non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in the treatment of osteoarthritis, but with fewer side-effects. Glucosamine may also reduce the symptoms of sports injury through its direct action in repairing damaged cartilage and therefore promoting improved joint function
