This supplement has been formulated to provide support for joints. Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfates are important naturally occurring structural components of healthy joints, ligaments, bones and synovial fluid. Glucosamine is an amino sugar derived from the chitin of shellfish and is used by the body to support healthy joint structures. Chondroitin complements Glucosamine and works synergistically to provide optimal nutritional support.*
Glucosamine Sulfate is the most popular and researched form of Glucosamine and is complexed with Potassium to enhance stability. We test our Glucosamine Sulfate to assure that it is fully and properly reacted. Our Chondroitin Sulfate is derived from bovine sources and is among the highest purities available.
