Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring chemical found in the human body, it’s found in the fluid that surrounds our joints.
Glucosamine supplements from o2b Healthy are made from chitin–a substance found in the shells of sea creatures like lobster, crab and shrimp.

Glucosamine is a natural compound composed of glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is critical for the production of glycosaminoglycan–the molecule responsible for the production and repair of damaged cartilage plus other tissues.

As we age, our production of glucosamine diminishes and the previously elastic tissue stiffens and compresses. This may lead to joint degradation, painful swelling of the joints, discomfort and further deterioration. That’s why Glucosamine is important.

To help support your supply of this crucial substance, o2b Healthy offers various Glucosamine supplements.
Glucosamine Plus is our simple 1-A-Day mega dose capsule of Glucosamine Sulphate, Chondroitin Sulphate, MSM and Ginger. Also see o2b Healthy’s Joint Manager, the same great  formulation but in two easy to swallow capsules.

o2b Healthy also offers Glucosamine Sulphate 1000mg capsules for people who simply cannot take anything else due to medication interactions.

Most physicians in NZ recommend taking 1,500 mg of Glucosamine sulphate for a three-month trial period, if you notice some relief continue. If not, stop taking the supplement. We have also found that if you double your dose to 3,000mg you may notice some relief much sooner than the standard three months.
