Research indicates that damaged cartilage can be replaced by healthy new cartilage.
Therefore, treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis should focus on both inhibiting cartilage breakdown and promoting cartilage repair. Glucosamine Sulfate can do both. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar that is necessary for the construction of connective tissue. It is both a precursor and stimulant of proteoglycan synthesis. This is what gives joints their strength and resilience.
