Glucosamine, MSM & Arnica Lotion
Description: Glucosamine, MSM & Arnica Lotion by NOW
NOW's Glucosamine/MSM/Arnica Liposome Lotion is a synergistic blend of joint and skin support factors delivered via liposome technology. Liposomes are bi-layered, membranous spheres that are similar in almost every way to small cells. They can carry almost any active ingredient, and can deliver their cargo all at once or release it slowly over time.
Research for the use of liposomes for topical application was pioneered by Mezei and his colleagues during the early 1980's. Recent advances in liposome delivery systems have improved the ability of these phosopholipid vessels to deliver these vital nutrients through the epidermis and deeper layers of tissue. More About Glucosamine? Glucosamine is composed of glucose and glutamine (an amino acid). It is utilized by chondrocytes to form glycosaminoglycans (GSG?s) and proteoglycans. Both of these constituents attract and bind water into cartilage, increasing resiliency. Glucosamine is supplied mostly by China. The shells of shrimp and crabs have their proteins and minerals removed producing Chitin or poly N-acetylglucosamine. Manufacturers use acid with a depolymerizing and deacetylating process to produce glucosamine hydrochloride or glucosamine sulfate. |
