What is Glucosamine?
Glucosamine Sulfate is a natural product. It is derived from the exoskeletons of various varieties of shellfish.
What does Glucosamine Sulfate do?
Glucosamine sulfate provides the joints with the building blocks needed to address changes from normal wear and tear. Specifically, it provides the raw material needed by the body to manufacture cartilage.
What is Chondroitin?
Chondroitin Sulfate is a natural product derived from certified BSE-free bovine sources.
What does Chondroitin do in the body?
Chondroitin protects the cartilage and attracts fluids that give the tissue its shock absorbing quality.
Glucosamine & chondroitin ingredients have been the subject of more research over recent years than any other supplements on the market. Both clinical reports and research trials demonstrate that they support healthy joint function.
"Supplements such as glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate may actually help restore damaged tissue structure in joints, perhaps because these two substances are natural constituents of healthy cartilage."
