Chondroitin 200 mg + Glucosamine 250 mg Tablet:Â
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar produced within the body and available in certain foods. It is essential for synthesizing glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as Hyaluronic Acid, Keratan Sulfate, and Chondroitin Sulfate, which combine with proteins to form proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are vital components of cartilage within joints, and their degradation can lead to osteoarthritis. Supplementing with Glucosamine Sulfate can raise glucosamine levels in the body, enhancing cartilage production and repair. Glucosamine also activates chondrocytes (cartilage cells), promoting GAG and proteoglycan production. Additionally, it contributes to the formation of other connective tissues, including tendons, ligaments, and nails.
Chondroitin Sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan present in connective tissues, particularly in joint cartilage. When taken as a supplement, Chondroitin serves as a building block for proteoglycans, akin to Glucosamine Sulfate, and helps protect healthy cartilage by inhibiting the enzyme matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), which breaks down proteoglycans.
