DESCRIPTION

Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Sulfate are crucial components of the proteoglycans, which by attracting and holding water, create the slippery, shock absorbing "gel" that makes up 70% of the cartilage in our joints, .* This gel fills the spaces between the collagen fibers that hold cartilage together.* In fact, the resulting bone covering with this shock absorbing gel is seven times more slippery than ice!*

Glucosamine Sulfate is also a key factor in encouraging cells called chondrocytes to produce more collagen, proteoglycans, and Chondroitin Sulfate.* This is the process by which we rebuild cartilage to keep it "like new" through our lives.* Glucosamine Sulfate may help to restore normal cartilage metabolism, which in turn may contribute to the possibility of reversing cartilage breakdown and reducing pain* .

*. Besides its structural role, Chondroitin Sulfate can distribute nutrients throughout the cartilage.* This is crucial because there is no blood supply to cartilage, and without nutrients, it would eventually dry up, and inflammation would gradually reduces the Chondroitin Sulfate supply.* Ample supplies of Chondroitin Sulfate inhibit both the enzymes that break cartilage down, and other enzymes that can block the transport of nutrients within the cartilage. *
