Glucosamine Chondroitin
Glucosamine Chondroitin Combo from Jarrow can slow the progression and reduce
the pain of osteoarthritis. It aids in the formation and repair of cartilage,
promotes water retention and elasticity in cartilage and inhibits enzymes that
break down cartilage.
Why take a combination of both of these nutrients? Because studies show they
work better together to help repair and nourish cartilage.
Glucosamine Chondroitin: Boosts Protective Responses
When you have osteoarthritis, your cartilage breaks down. And since cartilage
is the cushion between joints, bone can rub against bone, causing pain and
eventually your mobility will be limited.
Glucosamine, the first half of this combo, is a major building block of
proteoglycans, which attract and hold water in healthy cartilage. This
supplement speeds up production of both proteoglycans and collagen. It also
normalizes cartilage metabolism which helps keep cartilage from breaking down.
It can help the body to repair damaged or eroded cartilage. In other words,
it strengthens your body’s natural repair mechanisms.
Besides stimulating cartilage production, it can also reduce joint pain and
inflammation.
Glucosamine Chondroitin: Nourishes Cartilage
Chrondroitin, the second half of this combo, attracts fluid into the
proteoglycan molecules, which acts like a spongy shock absorber.
This fluid then sweeps the nutrients into the cartilage, since joint
cartilage has no blood supply. Cartilage gets its nourishment and lubrication
from the fluid that ebbs and flows as pressure is applied and released to the
joint. Without this fluid, cartilage would become malnourished, drier, thinner
and more fragile.
It inhibits certain ‘cartilage chewing’ enzymes which interfere with the
metabolism of other enzymes that starve the cartilage of fluid.
Glucosamine Chondroitin protects cartilage and stops it from breaking down.
