Gevolox (Glucosamine) Mechanism of Action

How Gevolox Works?

The primary biological role of Gevolox in halting or reversing joint degeneration appears to be directly due to its ability to act as an essential substrate for and to stimulate the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and the hyaluronic acid backbone needed for the formation of proteoglycans found in the structural matrix of the joint.

Osteoarthritis results from an imbalance between the rate of synthesis and the rate of degradation of cartilage proteoglycans and where digradation exceeds synthesis. If this is the case, then increasing the availability of glucosamine (Gevolox) will in turn increase the production of cartilage proteoglycans and thus, potentially decrease joint pain and increase flexibility. Glucosamine sulphate (Gevolox) therefore, stops the pathogenic mechanisms of osteoarthritis relieving the symptoms like pain and swelling and slows the progression of disease. Glucosamine sulphate is a member of glycosaminoglycans family. These are long chains of amino acid that are found in high concentration in sea shells. Glucosamin sulphate is a natural aninosugar conprising glucose, Glutamine and sulfur. It is highly soluble in water.

Indications

All forms of osteoarthritis.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to glucosamine sulphate.
