The core efficacy of Glucosamine Sulfate revolves around improving symptoms of osteoarthritis and protecting joint cartilage, as follows: inhibiting the activity of "degradation enzymes" (such as matrix metalloproteinases MMPs and hyaluronidase) in the joint, reducing the damage of cartilage matrix (proteoglycans, collagen), and alleviating the rate of cartilage degeneration;
Promote synovial secretion of hyaluronic acid, enhance the viscoelasticity of joint fluid, strengthen the "lubrication and buffering" effect of joint fluid on joints, and reduce pain caused by joint friction;Slightly inhibit the release of inflammatory factors (such as IL-1 β, TNF - α), alleviate chronic inflammation of joint synovium, and alleviate joint swelling and stiffness. As a "raw material" for cartilage matrix synthesis, it directly provides glucosamine to chondrocytes, promotes the synthesis of proteoglycans (the core "water absorbing and shock-absorbing" component of cartilage) and type II collagen, increases cartilage thickness, and enhances cartilage elasticity;Inhibit chondrocyte apoptosis, maintain chondrocyte quantity and activity, and delay the degeneration process of cartilage thinning and brittleness. It has an auxiliary effect on "cartilage repair after sports injury" (such as mild meniscus injury, cartilage edema after joint sprain), which can promote the repair of damaged cartilage and shorten the recovery time;It has a slight relieving effect on "degenerative spinal joint diseases" (such as cervical and lumbar spondylosis with intervertebral disc degeneration), by improving the synthesis of intervertebral disc cartilage matrix and alleviating nerve root compression symptoms caused by intervertebral disc herniation (such as upper limb numbness and lower back and leg pain).
