Description

Glucosamine sulfate belongs to a class of chondroprotectors that are currently widely used in the treatment of joint diseases. They are natural components of articular cartilage, are part of the proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans of cartilage tissue.

The most important aspect of the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis is the formation of proteoglycan, which consists in depolymerization of protein-polysaccharide complexes with the formation of smaller compounds that leave the cartilage. At the same time, the function of chondrocytes is also disrupted, they synthesize less stable proteoglycans, and the loss of physiological properties of cartilage develops, which is accompanied by the formation of erosions and cracks in the cartilage.

Glucosamine is a compound of glucose and amino acids. It is a part of the glycoprotein thyroglobulin, which plays an essential role in the condensation reaction of diiodothyrosine molecules in the thyroid gland. It is widely distributed in nature, is a part of many polysaccharides contained in vertebrate tissues, and is the main component of chitin, a structural polysaccharide that forms the outer skeleton of insects, crayfish, crabs, etc.

It is also found in milk oligosaccharides, connective tissue polysaccharides, blood group-specific substances, and blood plasma glycoproteins.

White willow bark. White willow bark contains catechin tannins (3-10%), salicin glycoside, which under the influence of the enzyme salicase is broken down into glucose and salicylic acid derivatives; flavones, vitamin C, resinous substances.

Willow bark preparations have anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, diuretic properties, helps to remove uric acid salts from the body, so they are widely used in the treatment of inflammatory and metabolic diseases of the joints. Water extracts of the bark exhibit distinct antiviral and hemostatic properties. The main use of willow bark in inflammatory diseases of the joints – arthritis, joint rheumatism.

Horsetail – has a broad pharmacological effect on the body, having a diuretic, anti-inflammatory, disinfecting, hemostatic and wound-healing effect.

It improves the general metabolism, promotes normalization of water-salt metabolism, elimination of cholesterol, various toxins and slags; strengthens the immune properties of the body, stimulates the function of the adrenal cortex, prevents the formation of urinary stones. Of particular value here is the high content of silicon in easily digestible (silicic acid) the form. Silicon is involved in the synthesis of connective and epithelial tissue proteins – in particular, collagen (the main plastic cartilage component) – thus contributing to the formation and regeneration of these tissues and maintaining their strength and elasticity.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Ascorbic acid is necessary for the functional integration of sulfhydryl groups of enzymes, for the formation of collagen and intracellular structural substance, important for the formation of cartilage, bones, teeth and wound healing.

Magnesium oxide. Magnesium is a part of metalloproteins-complex proteins that contain metals of the extra-additive, non-protein group. It is one of the activators that increase the activity of enzymes that enhance their action.

Protein biosynthesis occurs with the direct participation of magnesium ions, which is necessary for the activation of amino acids and maintaining the integrity of ribosomes. The synthesis of acetyl-CoA, phosphocholine, and choline phosphatides requires a magnesium ion.

Calcium lactate. Calcium performs a variety of functions in the body:

• plastic and structural, as part of the main mineral component of bone tissue — oxyapatite, micro-crystals which form a rigid structure of bone tissue;
• contributes to the stability of cell membranes, forming a connection between the negatively charged phospholipids, structural proteins and glycoproteins;
• participates in the implementation of the intercellular connections, ensuring the adhesion of cells in dareobasanjo (the process of adhesion);
• necessary for normal nervous tissue excitability and contractility of muscle fibers;
• is an activator of several enzymes and hormones, the most important component of the blood coagulation system;
• is involved in the regulation of cell membrane permeability, has an effect opposite sodium, promotes the excretion of salts of heavy metals and radionuclides, exhibits antioxidant effect, has anti-allergic effect.
