Glucosamine & Chondroitin
For Bones and Joints

Glucosamine Sulfate is a functional form of glucose (sugar) and the amino acid, glutamine. It is a major building block of proteoglycans, the long molecules weaving through collagen fibers and binding to water to lubricate and absorb shock in the joints. It is also a constituent of the mucopolysaccharides providing structure to our shin, nails and cartilage.

When cartilage and proteoglycans are damaged from trauma due to sports injuries, obesity, hereditary factors or degeneration from age, the building materials need to be replaced. Supplementing the diet with Glucosamine Sulfate may do just that . It rebuilds the water-holders in the cartilage matrix and stimulates production of chondrocytes. The more glucosamine available, the more proteoglycans and the more water available for the joint. This means better lubrication, movement and flexibility, and less pain. agent.

Chondroitin Sulfate is made of a long chain of repeating sugars that help attract fluid into proteoglycan molecules. These long molecules weave through collagen fibers and bind to water to lubricate and absorb shock in the joints. Chondroitin sulfate works like liquid magnets that ensure the proteoglycans will attract and hold water in the cartilage.

Since joint cartilage has no blood supply, it depends on fluid for its nourishment and lubrication. Chondroitin sulfate helps protect cartilage from a premature breakdown, stimulates the production of collagen and works synergistically with Glucosamine. Research indicates that Chondroitin Sulfate supplements work much like naturally occurring Chondroitin.*
