What is Glucosamine and Chondroitin?
Glucosamine and Chondroitin capsules are nutritional supplements formulated to ease aches and pains in the joints. The capsules contain Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCL, derived from shellfish; Glucosamine is found naturally in the body and helps form the synovial fluid which lubricates the joints and cushions the ends of bones, reducing friction. Chondroitin is found in the tough connective tissues and contributes to their durability.
Whilst both glucosamine and chondroitin can be found in certain foods, it can be difficult to get a suitable amount in your diet alone. Supplementation can relieve stiffness and strengthen joints, as well as slow cartilage degradation.
