Guards of the musculoskeletal system and joints

Glucosamine is a natural substance that is found in all living organisms, in the shells of crustaceans in the bones and bone marrow, as well as in mushrooms. This polysaccharide is produced, including by the human body. However, often due to metabolic disorders, excessive functional loads and, especially, due to an age-related decrease in activity, the amount of glucosamine produced by the body decreases, as a result of which the regeneration of cartilage cells covering the articular ends is significantly slowed down. The cartilaginous surface becomes thinner, gradually leading to arthrosis of a particular joint. Therefore, glucosamine in recent years has occupied a special place in the treatment and prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. For joints, chondroitin is an indispensable component. With its deficiency, structural changes in cartilage develop. Cartilage pads, which play a shock-absorbing and stabilizing role, are involved in the pathological process. The destruction of the joint is accompanied by inflammatory processes in the tissues that are near the articular joints. Ligaments and tendons suffer. Therefore, in the case of deficiency in the body of chondroitin, it is recommended to replenish it with food supliments.
