Revisado por Isabelle Baião de Mello Neto (CRF-MG 24309)Como o Artoglico age no organismo?
Resultados de eficácia
Estudos mostram que a glicosamina retarda a progressão da osteoartrite a longo prazo5,6,7. Pacientes que usaram 1.500 mg diárias por três anos tiveram menos desgaste nas juntas e melhora nos movimentos e dor comparados a quem não usou6,7.
Características farmacológicas
Como age
A glicosamina é natural no corpo e ajuda a formar a cartilagem das juntas. Em problemas como artrose, há falta local dessa substância. O Artoglico® repõe essa carência, estimulando a reconstrução da cartilagem1,8.
Como o corpo absorve
A glicosamina é absorvida rapidamente pela boca (26% de aproveitamento). Parte vai para as juntas, fígado e rins, enquanto o restante é eliminado na urina18,20.
