The optimal functioning of joints is extremely important for every movement we make. Overexercise and aging are two major factors in the wear and tear of the joints. Cartilage is the soft tissue that forms the cushions that keep the bones from grinding against each other in the joints.

Without cartilage, the knees and elbows would quickly wear out. The cartilage can be compressed and regains its composition after load. Collagen and proteoglycans are responsible for these special characteristics.

Joint Support contains Glucosamine and chondroitin, two natural constituents found in the cartilage. Glucosamine protects the cartilage against damaging. It’s the raw material for proteoglycans and stimulates its release in the cartilage. Supplemental chondroitin may stimulate the production of collagen and proteoglycans, and also inhibit the enzymes that degrade proteoglycans.

When subjected to heavy load, the cartilage needs 2 to 3 times more constituents to be able to preserve its special characteristics. Therefore supplementing glucosamine and chondroitin is extremely important.
