Glucosamine Chondroitin and MSM Supplement Swanson 360 Comp

Glucosamine is a key building block for water-loving proteoglycans. In addition to being a building block for proteoglycan synthesis, its mere presence acts as a stimulus to cells that produce proteoglycans – in fact, glucosamine is a major factor in determining how many proteoglycans are produced by cells. Glucosamine has been proven to accelerate the production of proteoglycans and collagen and normalize the metabolism of cartilage which helps prevent it from breaking down. Thus, due to glucosamine’s effect on cartilage metabolism, it may actually help the body repair damaged or eroded cartilage. In other words, glucosamine strengthens the body’s natural repair mechanisms. In addition to stimulating cartilage production, glucosamine also reduces joint pain and inflammation. CHONDROITIN SULFATE: When glucosamine helps to form the proteoglycans that are in the space in the cartilage, chondroitin sulfate acts as “liquid magnets”. Chondroitin is a long chain of proteins that attracts fluid into the proteoglycan molecules. Sale subject to product being in stock.
