Description: * Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Sulfate are crucial components of the proteoglycans, which by attracting and holding water, create the slippery, shock absorbing "gel" that makes up 70% of the cartilage in our joints, filling the spaces between the collagen fibers that hold cartilage together. In fact, the resulting bone covering is seven times more slippery than ice!

Glucosamine Sulfate is also a key factor in encouraging or "pushing" cells called chondrocytes to produce more collagen, proteoglycans, and Chondroitin Sulfate. This is the process by which we rebuild cartilage to keep it "like new" through our lives. Glucosamine Sulfate may help to restore normal cartilage metabolism, which in turn may contribute to the possibility of reversing cartilage breakdown and reducing pain.

Besides its structural role, Chondroitin Sulfate can distribute nutrients throughout the cartilage. This is crucial because there is no blood supply to cartilage, and without nutrients, it would eventually shrivel up as happens in advanced arthritis, when inflammation gradually reduces the Chondroitin Sulfate supply. Ample supplies of Chondroitin Sulfate inhibit both the enzymes that break cartilage down, and other enzymes that can block the transport of nutrients within the cartilage.
