Why Micellar Glucosamine?
Glucosamine is an important biological molecule produced naturally in the body and is used for making glucosaminoglycans – the principal lubricating proteins in cartilage, tendons, ligaments, synovial fluid and mucous membranes. When the body cannot produce enough glucosamine, conditions such as osteoarthritis, joints and body pains may start to occur. These Glucosamine deficiency syndromes can be prevented or managed by effective glucosamine supplementation.
Unfortunately, glucosamine is difficult to deliver to the body. Glucosamine absorption is very low in the gastric and it may cause gastric acidity and irritation. Topical Glucosamine would obviously be preferred BUT formulating effective concentration of Glucosamine in a cream is a big challenge. It is even more challenging to deliver glucosamine across the skin layers in to the body. You may have heard people say "I tried many Glucosamine before but it did not work for me". This is simply because any glucosamine product without the right glucosamine delivery technology may not give any value. The presence of high concentration of Glucosamine in the cream always leads to emulsion breakdown and decomposition of creams in to two layers of oil and water. Thus effective Glucosamine therapy has been an illusion for many years.
