ADDITIONAL INFO
Articular cartilage has limited potential for self-renewal and regeneration. With age, it begins to break down and become damaged. Slowing the breakdown of articular cartilage and improving its ability to regenerate is achieved by supplying the joints with the building blocks of cartilage in the form of joint nutrition. The elementary components of cartilage and joint structures are glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen.
Chondroitin sulphate binds water, maintains the elasticity of cartilage, and blocks enzymes that damage cartilage. Glucosamine sulphate stimulates the metabolism of chondrocytes and slows cartilage degeneration. Type II collagen protects the strength and elasticity of cartilage and joint structures. MSM is a source of organically bound sulphur and has powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Vitamin C is essential for the metabolism of collagen and protects cells against oxidative damage.
