Glucosamine
1000 mg and
Chondroitin Sulfate
134 mg 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.
Studies have shown that a combination of Glucosamine
and Chondroitin Sulfate reports pain relief at a
level similar to that of nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and
ibuprofen; slow cartilage damage in people with
osteoarthritis.

C
40 mg – Maintains collagen tissue helps heal wounds,
scar tissue, and fractures. It gives strength to
blood vessels; important for immune resistance and
the effects of stress.
Manganese
(Manganese Amino Acid Chelate) 5.4 mg -– Important
for skeletal development and formation of blood;
needed for the formation of healthy cartilage and
bone.
Mn
is required for the activation of prolidase, and
enzyme that functions to provide the amino acid,
praline, for collagen formation in human skin cells,
hence, improve in wound healing.
