Glucosamine & Chondroitin are naturally occurring structural components that have recently enjoyed growing popularity. Glucosamine is an amino sugar derived from the chitin of shellfish and is used by the body to support healthy joint structures. Chondroitin complements Glucosamine and works synergistically to provide optimal nutritional support.*
Healthy cartilage depends heavily on many factors including water retention, protection from destructive enzymes and ample nourishment. NOW Glucosamine/Chondroitin Sulfate is a perfectly balanced blend of two naturally occuring elements that may assist the joints in establishing mobility that is not only normal and healthy, but free and easy as well. By increasing water retention (a natural cushion) in the joints, the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate has been shown to protect joint tissue, and may even provide the materials necessary to naturally repair damaged or eroded cartilage.*
Glucosamine is an essential substrate for the formation of glycoaminoglycans (GAG?s) and proteoglycans, which are the main components of cartilage tissue. GAG?s and proteoglycans trap and hold water, forming a dense fluid cushion within the joint and thus, provide lubrication and shock absorption. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural source of organic sulfur, a mineral necessary for the production of proteoglycans. This unique and synergistic formula is suitable for vegetarians, because it contains only Glucosamine from a vegetarian source and not from shellfish.
