Glucosamine Sulfate occurs naturally in the body, but with age and other factors, production steadily declines. A factor in the building of healthy cartilage, glucosamine has the ability to protect against the deterioration of cartilage. Supplemental glucosamine helps stimulate the manufacture of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), key components of cartilage cell growth. GAGs maintain the structure of cartilage, giving it shock-absorbing qualities.
Chondroitin sulfate also has the ability to reduce the deterioration of cartilage in joints, and is used effectively to rebuild healthy cartilage tissue and prevent further damage. Chondroitin works by attracting nutrients and water into the cartilage as well as inhibiting the enzymes that damage cartilage tissue.
Supplemental glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate may result in reductions in joint pain, stiffness, tenderness and swelling, as well as increased joint performance.Glucosamine Chondroitin Sulfate Extra StrengthfromWebber Naturalshelps slow the progression of osteoarthritis, maintains structural integrity of joints and connective tissue, and reduces any pain associated with osteoarthritis.
