Thompson's Gluco-Pro 900™ is a combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin intended to provide nutritive support to help maintain healthy, mobile joint function and connective tissue. Serving size of 3 tablets provides a full dose of 1500 mg Glucosamine and 1200 mg Chondroitin. Glucosamine-Chondroitin is a combination suggested to maintain structural integrity of joints, blood vessels and connective tissue, stimulate healing and provide relief of symptoms associated with osteoporosis, arthritis, osteoarthritis, joint inflammation, bursitis, tendonitis, cartilage damage, connective tissue, joint, and bone problems. Glucosamine helps provide the building blocks for healthy cartilage and maintain structural integrity of joints and connective tissue.* Glucosamine is a building block for joint fluid, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, membranes and blood vessels.* Primary Use: Supports healthy joint function.* Glucosamine sulfate is produced from shrimp shells, which have esentially the same biochemistry as human cartilage. Glucosamine is not only safe but an active supporter of proteoglycan synthesis (i.e., a producer of cartilage macromolecules consisting of a protein bound to a glucosaminoglycan). There is increasing evidence that Glucosamine does in fact relieve joint pain and inflammation for many arthritis sufferers, and that it may slow progression of the disease. Because of its ability to reduce and--in some cases--completely eliminate the pain of osteoarthritis, some physicians and researchers feel Glucosamine might offersimilar benefits for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, spinal disc degeneration, tendinitis, bursitis, and physical injuries to the joints. There is even speculation that it could play a preemptive role, eliminating the development of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, two essential building blocks of cartilage. This appears to 'jump start' the body’s own natural production of Glucosamine. Chondroitin Sulfate (CSA) is from highly purified Bovine Trachea Cartilage. This special process yields 95% pure chondroitin sulfate. Chondroitin sulfate is a major constituent of cartilage, providing structure, holding water and nutrients, and allowing other molecules to move through cartilage. In degenerative joint disease, such as osteoarthritis, there is a loss of chondroitin sulfate as the cartilage erodes. Chondroitin sulfate may promote healing of bone. Chondroitin sulfate has been shown to relieve symptoms and slow the progression of, or reverse, osteoarthritis. Combining Glucosamine with Chondroitin sulfate has been demonstrated to increase its effectiveness. Glucosamine has been used to treat osteoarthritis in Europe since the 1980s. Several recent scientific studies have supported its effectiveness, and its popularity in the U.S. is spreading quickly. In November 1999, a Belgian group of researchers presented a study to the
