Glucosamine has been shown to speed up the production of both proteoglycans and collagen and it normalizes cartilage metabolism which helps keep cartilage from breaking down.
Chondroitin sulphate acts like ‘liquid magnets’. Chondroitin is a long chain of repeating nigans that attracts fluid into the proteoglycan molecules.
Why this is Important: The fluid acts as a spongy shock absorber the fluid sweeps the nutrients into the cartilage. Joint cartilage has no blood supply thus all of its nourishment and lubrication comes from the fluid that ebbs and flows as pressure is applied and released to the joint. Without this fluid, cartilage would become malnourished, drier, thinner and more fragile.
This supplement approach includes a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate. These are substances we already consume and are produced in small amounts in our bodies and as such have no known side effects.
