Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Collagen
If you want to speed up the recovery and regeneration processes, you need to take collagen-containing medications. Collagen is the basic building material for cartilage and connective tissue. It is found in many products, but in small concentrations. Additional intake of collagen has a positive effect on the recovery of muscle and joint injuries.
Medications for joints are glucosamine and chondroitin. Unlike collagen, they have a complex medicinal effect on the joints. They improve the transport of nutrients to the joints, relieve inflammation, retain water in the joints, which improves their elasticity and mobility, and reduce pain. Glucosamine and chondroitin can be used both for the treatment of injuries and for their prevention, when unpleasant symptoms appear in the muscles, joints, ligaments.
Do not forget about taking vitamin and mineral complexes. Most anabolic processes in our body require the presence of vitamins. And their lack can seriously slow down the regeneration processes, even if all the other necessary trace elements are present.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are the main substances included in the composition of drugs that are used in sports medicine for the treatment and prevention of joint and ligament injuries.
GLUCOSAMINE is an essential building material for cartilage and ligaments.
Glucosamine belongs to the substances called amino sugars. Glucosamine is not consumed by the body for energy, but is used exclusively for the formation of connective tissue of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, heart valves, synovial (articular) fluid, nails, and hair.
Any connective tissue in the body is produced only when there is enough glucosamine for this process. After absorption, glucosamine is captured by the cartilage tissue, where it begins to stimulate the production of the most necessary mucopolysaccharides. Glucosamine affects the cause of the disease, not its symptoms, as it is done by painkillers. Glucosamine contributes to the process of fixing sulfur, while enhancing the analgesic effect.
CHONDROITIN-nutrition and protection of your cartilage and ligaments from tram.
Chondroitin is a preparation of a group of proteoglycans, high-molecular polysaccharides.
This is a drug that has proven its effectiveness in the process of restoring cartilage and ligaments for decades. The main feature of chondroitin is its ability to store water in the cartilage in the form of water pillows, which creates shock absorption and absorbs shock when walking.
In addition, chondroitin has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, helping to reduce pain in the joints and spine, increases their flexibility and mobility. Chondroitin also activates the fixation of sulfur during the synthesis of chondroitin-sulfuric acid, which in turn contributes to the deposition of calcium in the bones, and not in dangerous places for health.
Chondroitin has a beneficial effect on the entire body, heals it, heals wounds and improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
Taking glucosamine and chondroitin together or taking medications that contain these two substances in their composition - you significantly enhance the work of each of them. Science has proven that glucosamine and chondroitin mutually enhance the action of one-one.
COLLAGEN is a protein that is the Foundation for human connective tissue - cartilage, ligaments, and joints.
It provides their strength, as well as resistance to stress, it is responsible for the elasticity of muscles and joints. Collagen is the most abundant protein not only in the human body, but also in all mammals on the planet. By the way, almost all cooks perfectly know collagen by its derivative-gelatin, which is obtained from collagen. However, it is not specially isolated for this purpose, but its sources are used - cartilage, bones, skin and joints of animals.
Today, science knows about three dozen types of collagen protein. They differ at the level of the amino acid sequence, but they are all equally useful for the body.
Under normal conditions, collagen is synthesized by the body on its own, and this synthesis is quite sufficient to meet the collagen needs of an ordinary person. However, for athletes whose body is experiencing loads that are not normal, this collagen is not enough, as a result-thinning of cartilage, loss of elasticity and strength of joints and ligaments, increased trauma. Sometimes the cause of a lack of collagen in the body can also be diseases, including congenital. The lack of vitamins and minerals in the body, in particular - b vitamins, also negatively affects the synthesis of collagen.
