DONA Glucosamine Sulfate
DONA™ is the original Crystalline Glucosamine Sulfate, which was first developed and marketed for human use by Rotta Research Laboratorium.
Crystalline Glucosamine Sulfate is the derivative of the naturally occurring amino-sugar Glucosamine and is a chemically well defined and pure substance.
This compound has been thoroughly studied and shown effective to promote cartilage metabolism*, protect joint structure* and support joint mobility*.
DONA™ meets these requirements:
- Its safety and efficacy is supported by numerous clinical trials, that were conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practices.
- It is manufactured in accordance with the European and United States Good Manufacturing Practices.
How does DONA™ work?
Glucosamine Sulfate provides the joints with the building blocks that are needed to maintain joint function. Specifically, Glucosamine Sulfate stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycans and inhibits degradative processes in the cartilage.
Articular cartilage is the substance that lines the joint surface and is responsible for the mechanical properties of joints. The articular cartilage serves two functions:
- supports the mechanical load due to the weight of the body and absorbs the shocks and stresses that are caused by body movement; and
- it serves as a lubricant for the moving bones.
The articular cartilage contains a network of collagen fibers and proteoglycans. The proteoglycan molecules are an integral component of the cartilage matrix because they fill in the spaces between the collage fibrils and give the cartilage its typical hardness, smoothness and ability to support the mechanical shocks and stresses of the joint.
With aging, there may be an incomplete and defective synthesis of proteoglycans and increased cartilage destruction. As the cartilage in the joint is damaged, joint stiffness, movement limitation and pain may occur.
The Glucosamine Sulfate in DONA™ has been shown in clinical trials to stimulate the production of proteoglycans*, to limit cartilage destruction and consequently to restore healthy cartilage*.
This product comes in a powder form to increase effectivenes. It is available in 30 days supply.
