Description

100 capsules, 950mg

Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamin Cartilage Protector prevents the brake down in cartilage - the lining of every joint - by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for the break down, elastase. It is absorbed into the cartilage in the joints and supports the regeneration of bone. Arthrosis is a condition caused by increased workload of the joints (eg. obesity, weight lifting sports and trauma) and results in the loss of cartilage. When cartilage is lost, Chondroitin Sulfate is lost and as a consequence, water bound by Chondroitin Sulfate is lost too.

With the supplementation of Chondroitin Sulfate, the water content in the cartilage is restored and further brake down of cartilage is prevented. After 1 week of therapy, pain caused by arthrosis usually subsides and joint function is improved. Glucosamin is the major ingredient of the joint fluid responsible for lubrication of the joint. When the body can’t produce enough of its own Glucosamin – eg. after injury, chronic inflammation -, the viscosity of the joint fluid changes thereby causing increased friction of the joint surfaces
