Glucosamine is produced naturally in the body. Like chondroitin, it is an important building-block for the formation of cartilage. Cartilage helps our joints function properly by acting as a cushioning gel when we move. Through the process of wear-and-tear, damage to joints, ligaments, and tendons occurs. Sometimes our bodies cannot keep up with this process of degeneration from its own manufacture of glucosamine. Therefore, supplemental glucosamine can help to reduce the damage of aging joints, by providing the necessary building-block for the repair and replacement of new cartilage. Chondroitin is a naturally occurring substance found in our bodies. It is a major constituent of the cartilage found in our bone joints. Cartilage is the tough elastic connective tissue that helps our joints function properly. As we age, it is especially important to take chondroitin as a supplement to help our bodies replace the cartilage that we have lost due to wear-and-tear. This helps to keep our joints flexible and pain-free, so that we can have good mobility in our active senior years. Vitamin C and bromelain are added as absorption enhancers. Available in bottles of 60 tablets and 180 tablets.
