Jarrow Formulas Glucosamine + Chondroitin Combo - 120 Caps

Glucosamine + Chondroitin have been used for the treatment of arthritic conditions. Glucosamine + Chondroitin Combination provides clinically studied quantities of Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate, combined with Vitamin C and Manganese for optimizing joint health. Additionally solid basic science studies have shown that glucosamine is effective in:

• Reducing joint pain,
• Increasing lubrication of the joint,
• Stimulating cartilage matrix repair,
• Inhibiting enzymes that breakdown cartilage,
• Preserving joint space,
• Anti-inflammatory actions.

Glucosamine, an amino sugar, is thought to promote the formation and repair of cartilage. Chondroitin, a carbohydrate, is a cartilage component that is thought to promote water retention and elasticity and to inhibit the enzymes that break down cartilage. Both compounds are manufactured by the body. Laboratory studies suggest that glucosamine may stimulate production of cartilage-building proteins. Glucosamine supplements are derived from shellfish shells; chondroitin supplements are generally made from cow cartilage. Human studies have shown that either one may relieve arthritis pain and stiffness with fewer side effects than conventional arthritis drugs. Chondroitin Sulfate stimulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid 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.
