Jarrow Formulas Glucosamine + Chondroitin combination provides support for Joint Health. Glucosamine + Chondroitin combination provides clinically studied quantities of Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate, combined with Vitamin C and Manganese for optimizing joint health. It is a natural treatment for osteoarthritis and its symptoms. Numerous double blind studies have shown that Glucosamine can produce better results in the treatment of osteoarthritis than traditional drug therapy, as Glucosamine promotes the formation and repair of cartilage. The main function of glucosamine is to stimulate the substances necessary for joint repair. Some people lack the ability, or have a hindered ability due to age, to manufacture glucosamine which plays a role in the onset of osteoarthritis.

Glucosamine Sulfate is an essential component of joint and intestinal tissue and can be utilized to produce synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints. Sulfur is also utilized in the production of cartilage tissue.Chrondroitin Sulfate stimulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid (a component of synovial fluid) which is the lubricant for joints as well as a major component of connective tissue in the skin.Vitamin C and Manganese are required for the synthesis of collagen and cartilage.For best results use with Jarrow Formulas BioSil, the Biologically Active Silicon, to further support joint and connective tissue.

Chondroitin Sulfate is a long-chain molecule with a negative charge attached to it. Where glucosamine helps form the proteoglycans that sit within the space in the cartilage, chondroitin sulfate acts like a ‘liquid magnet’. Chondroitin is a long chain of repeating nigans that attracts fluid into the proteoglycan molecules. The fluid acts as a spongy shock absorber, and sweeps the nutrients into the cartilage. These are well known as matrixes within the cartilage and this is where the fluid flows. There may be as many as 10,000 of these chains on a single proteoglycan molecule, which makes for a great water retainer as these chains make sure all the molecules are repelled away from each other and cannot clump together. Since joint cartilage has no blood supply, 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.
