AOR Glucosamine and Chondroitin, 120 Capsules

Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are two components of joint cartilage and other types of structural tissue. Glucosamine and chondroitin are made up of sugars and amino acids. The sulfate portion of these compounds is also important since the body requires sulfate to produce cartilage.

The main purpose of glucosamine and chondroitin is to provide structural support for joint cartilage. Chondroitin provides resistance against compression forces, while glucosamine provides support for both the cartilage and the synovial fluid surrounding the joints that helps cushion and reduce friction. Glucosamine and chondroitin are most often taken by those with osteoarthritis to reduce joint breakdown and joint pain. Subjects supplementing with glucosamine and chondroitin have been able to reduce their use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and although these natural supplements take longer to provide relief than NSAIDs, their beneficial effects have been shown to last longer.
