Get The Ultimate Support For Healthy Joints And Bones!
Combining Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate in their ideal ratio, Country Life presents this powerful formula. Especially formulated to help support healthy structure and function of joints, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues, Glucosamine Chondroitin Formula offers the supportive building blocks for connective tissue. This formula also provides the precursors for the production of bone, cartilage, tendon, joint tissue, skin, blood vessel walls and mucous membranes.
Glucosamine is found largely in cartilage and plays a significant role in its health and resiliency. While Chondroitin is mucopolysaccharide found in cartilage, tendons and ligaments, where it is bound to proteins such as collagen and elastin. Glucosamine is made from the combination of a sugar - hence the first part of the name glucos(e) - and an amine, which is a derivative of ammonia containing nitrogen and hydrogen atoms.
With age, we lose some of the glucosamine and other substances in cartilage. This can lead to thinning of cartilage and the onset and progression of osteoarthritis. An important fact is that there are many different important substances within cartilage and glucosamine ingestion, by itself, should not be viewed as the complete answer. Some studies depict that glucosamine is more likely to be effective when taken with other nutrients such as MSM and Chondroitin.
Chondroitin Sulfate is a major component of cartilage providing structure, holding water and nutrients, and allowing other molecules to move through cartilage, an important property, as there is no blood supply to cartilage. Chondroitin may work by acting as a building block for proteoglycan molecules, and may also have anti-inflammatory properties. In joints, it contributes to strength, flexibility and shock absorption. Current research indicates that supplemental Chondroitin may help maintain proper joint function.
