Glucosamine & Chondroitin + Msm 180 cps
NOW® Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM combines the three most efficient and effective nutrients in terms of joint health.
Glucosamine sulphate, an amino acid derivative that is formed in the tissues starting from glucose and glutamic acid, plays a fundamental role in maintaining the joints in optimal conditions. This is because, as some studies have shown, Glucosamine is absorbed by our body much more effectively than other "joint protectors". Thanks to the small shape of its molecules, 98% is assimilated while only 13% of chondroitin sulphate is absorbed. By stimulating an additional production of synovial fluid, a clear, viscous fluid with a lubricating action, various studies have shown that Glucosamine Sulphate helps maintain healthy cartilage and joints by protecting them from wear and tear.
Chondroitin which is a mucopolysaccharide, one of the main components of connective tissues such as cartilages, tendons, ligaments and bones, stimulates the production of proteoglycans, that is, large molecules of protein which increase the elasticity of the cartilage. In particular, the Chondroitin Sulphate acts by attracting the liquid in the proteoglycan molecules and stimulates the production of collagen.
To all this is added MSM which is an organic form of sulfur found in all living organisms (methane). Flexible tissues such as connective tissue and cartilage contain proteins with flexible sulfur bonds and given that as we age, flexible tissues lose part of their elasticity due to an insufficiency of sulfur, hence the importance of integrating the your diet with this element.
