Glucosamine & Chondroitin
Product Highlights
Joint Health Dietary Supplement
Glucosamine is the
primary building block of many joint tissues which act to maintain joint
integrity for the treatment and prevention of injury and arthritic
conditions.
Specifically, glucosamine appears to act as a major precursor
and/or building block of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs include hyaluronic
acid, chondroitin sulphate, keratan sulphate and others. Because
chondroitin and keratan are sulphated at key sites, they are also referred
to as polysulphated GAGs or PSGAGs. Both GAGs and PSGAGs are components in
the structural matrix of joints, which involve synovial fluid, cartilage,
tendons, ligaments, bones, blood vessels and capillaries. They are also
structural components of membranes in the digestive and respiratory tracts.
