ON SALE - Glucosamine Chondroitin 90 Capsules by Anabolic Laboratories. Glucosamine and chondroitin are the primary building blocks of gycosaminoglycans, which are the building blocks for larger proteoglycans.Natural shellfish extract and natural beef cartilage extract which supportsthe health of joints and other connective tissues and helps promote thehealing process and cardiovascular health.*Because joints are involved in movement, most often in a weight bearing situation, extremely powerful cushioning and strength are required to handle the pressure placed on bones at the joints. This is accomplished with articular cartilage, special tissue which covers the ends of bones at the site of a joint or, in the case of the spine, the presence of intervertebral discs between the bones of the spine. These and other connective tissue structures, including tendons and ligaments, owe their flexibility, resilience and powerful shock absorbing abilitiesto cartilage. Cartilage is a combination of water (to provide lubrication), glycosaminoglycans (complex biomolecular agg- regates which attract and hold water), the tough flexible protein collagen, plus other proteins and cellular material. These substances combine to give cartilage its incredible shock absorbing and cushioning qualities. Even in this era of advanced material science, the amazing properties of cartilage cannot be synthetically duplicated. Chondroitin sulfate is a type of glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a critical component of even larger structurescalled proteoglycans, major constituents of connective tissues. GAGs consist of long heteropolysaccharide chains (derived from the smaller glucosamine building blocks) and associated proteins. They have the unique ability to hold large amounts of water within their structure and are thus able to create a viscous gel-like matrix. This matrix, also known as the ground substance, helps support and stabilize cellular and fibrous components of connective and other tissues, while at the same time helping maintain water and salt balance. GAGs areessential to the proper structure and function of many tissues, especially the connective tissues of joints, skin, eyes, and cardiovascular system. GAGs are also responsible for the amazing resilience, strength and cushioning properties of cartilage. Chondroitin is the most abundant GAG in the body and is especially important to cartilage, tendons, ligaments and aorta.Over and above its role in helping promote healthy joints and connective tissue, chondroitin sulfate supports proper healing and cardiovascular health. This is most likely due to its fundamental role in connective tissue health which, in addition to joints, is a key component of skin and blood vessels. Glycosaminoglycans are the molecules responsible for most of the amazing properties of cartilage; glucosamine sulfate is the primary building block of glycosaminoglycans. With age, cartilage can begin to deteriorate as its metabolism, maintenance and regeneration processes decrease. This can be even more pronounced in patients with prior joint injuries, excess weight or those consuming a poor diet. Recent scientific studies have confirmed that supplementing the diet with glucosamine sulfate can help maintain and promote the health of joints and other connective tissues.

Glucosamine & Chrondroitin, 90 capsules Evidence For Synergistic Effect Of Glucosamine And Chondroitin Sulfates In Joint Health Chondroprotective agents have been defined as a compound that can accomplish the following six objectives in joint tissues (Ghosh, P., M. Smith, C. Wells. Second-line agents in osteoarthritis, Chapter 15 in Second-Line Agents in the Treatment of Rheumatic Diseases, J.S. Dixon, D.E. Furst, Eds., Marcel Dekker, New York, 1992, pp.363-427): 1. Enhance chondrocyte macromolecular synthesis (glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, collagens, proteins, RNA, DNA) 2. Enhance synthesis of hyaluron In synthesis by synoviocytes 3. Inhibit enzymes that degrade cartilage macromolecules 4. Mobilize thrombi, fibrin, lipids, cholesterol deposits in synovial spaces and blood vessels surrounding joints (subchondral vessels) 5. Reduce joint pain 6. Reduce synovitis At present, no known drug is able to accomplish all of these objectives. Macromolecules endogenous to cartilage and their semisynthetic or synthe Minimize

GlucosaPure Glucosamine OptiMSM MSM 60 Tablets Per Bottle We use only the highest quality Chondroitin and Glucosamine Sulfates in this joint health supplement. Our Glucosamine Sulfate is derived from patented form of fully-reacted Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride. It has a simple molecular structure making it very easy to absorb. MSM is recognized to promote joint health. OptiMSM is the most clinically studied and only patented pure distilled MSM available. MSM provides sulfur which is necessary for the structural integrity of joint cartilage and connective tissue such as skin hair and nails. OptiMSM has been shown to reduce inflammation by lowering invasion of certain white blood cells. Reduced inflammation increases circulation to aid recovery of sore muscles. Glucosamine stimulates the manufacture of collage which is the protein portion of a fibrous substance that holds joints together. Collagen is also the main component of the shock-absorbing cushion called articular Minimize
