Active Ingredients
- Glucosamine Sulfate is an amino sugar naturally produced by the body from glucose and sulfur. Sulfur is essential to healthy joints. It is a major building and rebuilding component of cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Both Glucosamine and Chondroitin are natural components of cartilage and connective tissues. Replacing lost or low production of glucosamine can help maintain and in most cases, regenerate joint tissues. Many studies have shown dramatic regeneration of joint tissues and improved production of joint fluids with the use of glucosamine sulfate.
- Type II collagen, a triple helix molecule, is the principal structural protein in cartilage that is responsible for its tensile strength and toughness. Sometimes the body’s immune system mistakes type II collagen in human joints as a foreign invader and sends antibodies to attach and destroy the collagen, which can adversely affect joint mobility and flexibility. This condition is coined as autoimmune diseases. Recent studies at Harvard University Medical School have shown that small doses of Undenatured type-II Collagen (UCII) derived from chicken cartilage works with the human immune system to prevent the body from attacking its joints.
Supported by six human clinical studies, inluding research at Harvard University.
