VIARTRIL-S® 1500MG(Crystalline Glucosamine Sulphate) 30's Sachet

joint pain causes

Cartilage can degrade with age, obesity, or overuse of joints. As the articular cartilage in the knee degenerates, it will cause bone friction, which will cause pain, swelling and reduce the range of motion of the joint. 6,7

What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is one of the components that make up articular cartilage. It is a natural amino acid monosaccharide 7 . Normally, the body will produce it to repair cartilage. But when the joints begin to degenerate, the cartilage cannot be repaired at the rate of abrasion, and it will cause pain to the patient. 8

A number of clinical studies have confirmed that the supplementation of crystalline glucosamine sulfate can supplement the components of cartilage, help repair cartilage, and delay joint degeneration at the same time. 7

Crystalline Glucosamine

Glucosamine is divided into hydrochloride and sulfate, and sulfate glucosamine is divided into crystalline glucosamine and non-crystalline glucosamine. Taking crystalline glucosamine sulfate as an example, its molecular state is relatively stable and can be easily absorbed by the body. In addition to slowing down cartilage abrasion by up to 5 times, it can also effectively stay in the body for a longer period of time. 5,9,10
