Both Glucosamine and Chondroitin are constituents of cartilage:

• Chondroitin (Complex Sugar Molecule).

These are building blocks for glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s), the structural components of cartilage.

GAG’s in turn play a major role in the synthesis of synovial fluid which lubricates joints .

Chondroitin plays an important role in cartilage maintenance by:

• Helping cartilage to retain water, giving it elasticity and potentially inhibiting enzymes that break down cartilage.

• Being a building block for articular cartilage (the type of cartilage covering the ends of bones in joints)

Supplementation with Glucosamine Sulphate combined with Chondroitin sulphate may relieve pain and stiffness associated with Osteoarthritis in particular OA of the knee joints.

It works two ways:

• Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplementation stimulate the anabolic process (process of buildup of complex molecules) of cartilage metabolism

• Both Glucosamine and Chondroitin delay inflammatory-induced catabolic processes (process of breakdown of complex molecules)- An anti-inflammatory

Glucochon:

• Slows the progression of cartilage destruction and

• May help regenerate the joint structure which in turn leads to

• Reduced pain and increased mobility in the joint affected by OA.

Supplementation with Glucochon delivers mixed results between individuals with some people gaining enormous benefit from it while others report no benefit at all.

Looking at the totality of research done, it is worth while giving it a try to see if it will benefit you as an individual.

Contra Indications:

People on blood thinning medications and diabetes should discuss Glucosamine & Chondroitin supplementation with their doctor.
