Product Details:
Country Life Glucosamine/Chondroitinformula (60 caps)
Glucosamine is found largely in cartilage and plays an important 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.
As we 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. It is important to note that there are a variety of important substances within cartilage and glucosamine ingestion, by itself, should not be viewed as the complete answer. In fact, not all studies show glucosamine to be helpful by itself. Some studies show glucosamine is more likely to be effective when taken with other nutrients such as MSM and Chondroitin.
Chondroitin Sulfate is a major constituent 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.
