About:
This food incorporates special factors, including Glucosamine Sulfate & Chondroitin sulphate combined with the recommended cofactors Vitamin C and Citrus bioflavonoids, with the minerals Manganese, Zinc and Copper. As a result of injury or as part of the ageing process, joint function is impaired when cartilage - the protective covering at the ends of the bones, which form the joints, breaks down. Cartilage acts as a shock-absorbing tissue and is made up of 65% to 80% percent water, collagen and proteoglycans. Special cells in cartilage, called chondrocytes, are involved in the production of new collagen and proteoglycan molecules. When cartilage breaks down it can lead to damage and degeneration of the bone, resulting in reduced mobility Recent research suggests that healthy cartilage and joints depend on special nutrients including Glucosamine sulfate Nutra-Life Glucosamine & Chondroitin Joint Food is a dietary supplement formulated to provide nutritional support for bones, joints, ligaments and cartilage.
