Glucosamine Supplements

Glucosamine supplements from Pharma Nord are intended to support cartilage and bones. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring molecule produced by the body, but levels reduce as we get older. In addition, the product contains vitamin C which contributes to collagen formation for normal functioning of bones and cartilage. Supplements are the best source of additional glucosamine, as there are no food sources of this nutrient.

Glucosamine benefits include maintaining healthy joints while supporting cartilage and bones. Joint tissues are susceptible to damage as a result of the normal ageing process, lifting heavy weights, participation in sports, or as a consequence of work-related repetitive movements.
Glucosamine is used within the body to form more complex molecules (proteoglycans) necessary for the maintenance and repair of joint cartilage and related issues (ligaments, tendons). Glucosamine benefits may also increase proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage cells (chondrocytes), as well as inhibiting the action of the enzymes normally responsible for the degradation of cartilage.
We recommend to take 1-3 glucosamine capsules per day with meals, or as directed by a physician.
Do not take if you are allergic to shellfish.
May cause gastrointestinal disturbance in susceptible individuals. Diabetics should check with your GP before taking glucosamine supplements.

General:
Relative to the food we eat, the size of individual nutrients are actually incredibly small. As a result, we need to use units other than grammes (g) to describe them. Here's what the common units for nutrients are:
Grammes (G)- often used to describe nutritional powders. Most teaspoons of powder weigh approximately 5g.
Milligrams (Mg)- 1000mg is equal to 1g
Micrograms (Mcg or μg)- 1000μg is equal to 1mg
International Units (IU)- Slightly more complex than milligrams (mg) and micrograms (μg), International Units measure differently from nutrient to nutrient. The most common nutrients that are likely to be measured in IU are vitamins D, E and A.
- Vitamin D: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.025 μg of D2 or D3
- Vitamin A: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.3 mcg retinol
- Beta-carotene (provitamin A): 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.6 μg of beta carotene
- Vitamin E: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol

Amanda - 30th July 2018:
I bought these for my husband as he suffers with plantar fasciitis and every morning struggles to walk for an hour or so when he gets up. I saw these and though hmm maybe something like this will help. He does the normal suggested exercises to help and nothing has changed. A week after taking these he was much better I don't know if that was a coincidence but he had not changed anything else only start taking these! He has now asked me to reorder some for him as he does not take any kind of pill/vitamin but was impressed with this so wants to continue with them as he is doing much better. We shall continue on and try a second pack.
