Perhaps you are familiar with cartilage as one of the essential components in the joints of a human body. Cartilage provides important support to the proper functioning of your joints, helping to cushion and absorb the shock of your body weight pressing against the joints and enabling movement over its smooth, flexible surface.

But you may not have heard about glucosamine, which plays a vital role in the human body. Glucosamine is an amino acid naturally produced in your body and is especially concentrated in the cartilage and connective tissues of your joints. It promotes a healthy, resilient cartilage. However, as you advance in age, the production of glucosamine decreases which contributes to cartilage destruction and degeneration. For this reason, replacing the lost glucosamine in your body is important.

Glucosamine UK is a recently developed dietary supplement which shows promising prospects for treating osteoarthritis and inflamed joints in a natural and safe process. Glucosamine UK is an organically derived alternative to the usual bevy of arthritic drugs offered in the market. It is extracted from natural sources, thus it can be a less expensive treatment option; in many cases, it can provide longer-term relief.

Glucosamine UK supplements have three different types: glucosamine sulphate, N-acetyl glucosamine, and glucosamine hydrochloride. There are varying contentions as to which type is more effective. Most studies so far have favored glucosamine sulphate, although there are indications that glucosamine hydrochloride is also effective.

Like any other medications and supplements, glucosamine UK also poses some side effects. These include diarrhea, heartburn and other stomach problems. Read the recommended dosage of glucosamine supplements printed on labels before taking glucosamine UK. If you have a history of hypertension or cardiovascular disease, you should consult your health care provider. For those who are currently on heart or insulin medications, it is not recommended to take glucosamine supplements.
