Additional Information:

Glucosamine

Glucosamine is found naturally in the body and is a form of an amino sugar. Glucosamine is a nutritional supplement that is extracted from crab, lobster or shrimp shells. It is believed to help people rebuild damaged joints, tendons, cartilage and soft tissue.

Chondroitin

Chondroitin acts like a collection of magnets attracting fluid into proteoglycan molecules. This is important to your body because:
   1) this fluid sweeps nutrients into your cartilage and
   2) the fluid acts as a spongy shock absorber

Chondroitin can protect your existing cartilage from age-related stress. It does this by blocking certain cartilage destroying enzymes and enzymes that prevent transporting of nutrients.
