A naturally occurring sugar produced in the body from glucose and the amino acid glutamine, we all have this in our bodies; however as we age the amount made by the body declines so it is important to ensure we get it from our diet. Glucosamine sulphate, as found in this supplement, is difficult to get in our diet as there are very few foods that are rich in this product. One of the best dietary sources available is from shells of crustaceans (shellfish). As we do not tend to eat much of this in our diets, it is advisable to take a supplement which is manufactured as a by-product of the fishing industry. One of the main functions of Glucosamine is to repair and rebuild the cartilage and joints in our bodies. Glucosamine is needed to produce glucosaminoglycan, a product used in the formation and repair of cartilage. Cartilage is the soft connective tissue that cushions and acts as padding to joints. Neulife Glucosamine could also help to relieve some of the joint pain caused by arthritis; this could be of particular benefit to those who suffer from osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease. Marine Collagen is made up from a natural substance that is found in fish scales, as a by-product of the fishing industry. Collagen is an essential protein that holds all body tissues together. It is found in large quantities in our skin and bones. With the aid of vitamin C, collagen forms a callus where new bone can develop. Thus like glucosamine, collagen can help to aid the regeneration of joints, ligaments, bones and tendons. Collagen makes up 75% of our skin. It controls cell shape and speeds up the healing process. As we age natural collagen stores in the body start to decline and this can result in skin loosing elasticity. Taking a supplement can help to improve elasticity of the skin and is used as an anti-ageing treatment. Cautions - if you are allergic to shellfish or diabetic please consult a doctor before taking
