glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for joints and bones

Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are substances found naturally in the body. Glucosamine is a form of amino sugar that is believed to play a role in cartilage formation and repair. Chondroitin sulfate is part of a large protein molecule (proteoglycan) that gives cartilage elasticity. Glucosamine and chondroitin are two molecules that make up the type of cartilage found within joints. Inside our joints, cartilage undergoes a constant process of breakdown and repair. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring body chemical, which the body uses to produce cartilage, tendons and ligaments; which are the connective tissue for joints. Glucosamine is a precursor to a molecule called a glycosaminoglycan-this molecule is used in the formation and repair of cartilage. Chondroitin is a naturally occurring body chemical that works in cartilage in a different way to glucosamine. It helps to attract water into the structure of the cartilage, which is essential for maintaining the cushioning effect between the joints, and bringing in nutrients to the cartilage, as it does not have its own blood supply. Chondroitin supplements increase the chondroitin levels in cartilage tissue. Cartilage is the body’s shock-absorber and joint lubricant. It covers the ends of any bones that meet together, and stops the hard bone tissue rubbing together, which would be very painful. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage covering the ends of the bone thins to such an extent that the ends of the bones come close together or touch. This produces pain and stiffness. Glucosamine and chondroitin supplements can help reduce the loss of cartilage, and can help to repair the cartilage structure, where it is still intact. They can help with pain and stiffness.

Glucosamine is a natural substance in the human body. It provides strength, flexibility, and elasticity to cartilage and connective tissue by stimulating the production of glycosaminoglycans, molecules that hold joint tissue together. Glucosamine also decreases inflammation that can lead to the joint destruction of arthritis. Glucosamine is a form of amino sugar that is believed to play a role in cartilage formation and repair. Glucosamine cannot cure arthritis, but it can do wonders for arthritis and joint pain. Because glucosamine works from within, bathing the joints in a proverbial warm and protective solution and working to heal the joints instead of merely cover up pain, results take a little bit longer than with NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Glucosamine works to protect the joints from further damage while continuing to stave off further damage. Contrasted to glucosamine, there is evidence that many of the NSAIDs can actually work against arthritic joints, to cause arthritis pain to become even worse by breaking down the joints. Glucosamine together with Yucca root, Chondroitin Sulfate, Rose hip, Boswellia , Horsetail and Flaxseed are the ingredients in Joint and Bone Combo.

Arthritis is the inflammation of one or more joints. It is characterized by pain and stiffness, swelling, deformity, and/or diminished range of motion. Bone growths or spurs may develop in the affected joints, increasing pain and decreasing mobility. There may be audible cracking or grating noises when the joint moves. More than 55 million Americans suffer from different form of Arthritis like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and related conditions like fibromyalgia, gout, lupus and scleroderma.

In Nepatica Joint and Bone Combo we have mixed together the most powerful ingredients to help and support our joints and bones. It is Glucosamine (300 mg), Yucca root (300 mg), Chondoiton Sulfate (200 mg), Rose hip (150 mg), Boswellia (100 mg), Horsetail (100 mg) and Flaxseed (80 mg)
