Glucosamine & Chondroitin 500 The formula used in scientific studies to help repair cartilage and support healthy joints and tissue.
Glucosamine & Chondroitin 500 Complex is the preferred supplement for persons experiencing wear and tear on their bodies' joint structures. Glucosamine is essential to building strong joint structures. Together with Chondroitin, they enable the formation of a spongy shock absorber within cartilage. This decreases the changes of the cartilage from becoming malnutritioned, drier, thinner and more fragile.
As we age, we lose some of the glucosamine and other substances in our cartilage. This can lead to the thinning of our cartilage and to the onset and progression of osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis.
Glucosamine, alone, "has been proven in over 300 studies and 20 clinical trials to actually build
joint cartilage.".1 "A much more effective response (has been found clinically)
in patients taking both supplements (in a 5:4 ratio) than in the same patients taking one or the other supplement
alone."2
The ratio of 5:4 of Glucosamine & Chondroitin, which is found in our formula, enable the formation of spongy shock
absorber within cartilage which decreases the chances of the cartilage becoming malnutritioned, dried, thinned, and
therefore more susceptible to deterioration and injury.
