1 - What is the difference between collagen and glucosamine?

  • Collagen plays a more important role in the composition of the joint structure. For instance, the components of cartilage are 67 % collagen versus 1% glucosamine.
  • Glucosamine acts more like a lubricant in the joints whereas collagen enhances and enables the repair and regeneration of the joint at all levels: tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, membranes and synovial liquid (lubrication).
  • Recent research has shown that the Glucosamine molecule is too large for optimal absorption and hence is less effective. Collagen is smaller and hence is absorbed better. Genacol absorption is further enhanced as it micornised and predigtested which allows absorption rates of between 95 and 100%.
