Appeton Essentials Glucosamine 500mg

Glucosamine is a compound found naturally in the body. Each person produces a certain amount of glucosamine within their bodies. Glucosamine is needed in the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a "cushion"' between the bones of the joints.

Osteoarthritis is known as a degenerative arthritis. When we age, our bodies lose the capacity to make enough glucosamine, hence, cartilage . Cartilage at weight-bearing joints, such as the hips, knees, and hands is deterioratestroyed (please look for better word other than "destroy" e.g. deteriorate? ). Bone which has overgrown at the edges of joint forms bone spurs. The cartilage becomes rough and pitted, causing pain, deformed joints and limited joint movement. Long term of "wear and tear" may also cause osteoarthritis.

Overweight or obese who pose a high risk of osteoarthritis. and those weight occupations (think this is incorrect, there is no such thing like "weight occupation" - to check) lead to repetitive strain injury .Drivers and athletes who's occupations leading to repetitive strain injury may are also at risk of osteoarthritis.
