    Why collagen is better than glucosamine?In the composition of cartilage we fi nd 67% of collagen versus 1% of glucosamine.Glucosamine is an aminosaccharide contrary to collagen which is a molecularcomplex containing amino acids. Glucosamine is found in interesting quantities only in the liquid of the synovial membrane. Collagen is also found in the synovialmembrane but in larger quantities because the protein structure is more abundant inthe body.

    Glucosamine acts more like a lubricant in the joints while collagen contributesto the global regeneration of the joint at all levels: tendons, ligaments, carti-lage, muscles, membranes and synovialliquid (lubrifi cation).

    Our tendons... Our bodys rubber bandsBy observing the diagram of the human body on this page, we can easily recognize all the space that our muscles, ligaments and tendons occupy. The tendon is composed of thick, white fi bres of collagen that are held tightly against one another. These fi bres are made up in large part by collagen.

    Our ligaments act like a connection between the bones. Our tendons act like ties to our internal structure for our muscles and our bones. The tendons and the ligaments of our body act like rubber bands of different sizes.

    Since our tendons are used to bind our musculature to our bones, and to maintain elasticity and suppleness, our tendons necessitate a large amount of collagen, particularly after an injury or from aging.
