Description
- Protocol for Life Balance Glucosamine & Chondroitin is a naturally occurring structural compound that is normally found in healthy cartilage, bone, and synovial fluid.
- Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is a building block for larger molecules known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs are essential components of connective tissues that function to lubricate joints, absorb shock, and allow these tissues to resist pressure. Chondroitin is one of the major GAGs found in joint tissue that is important in maintaining structural integrity.
- The body's production of GAGs however, decreases with age. Clinical studies indicate that Glucosamine can help to maintain healthy and flexible joints, thereby supporting joint comfort. Chondroitin, which has also been found to support joint health, lends an additional layer of structural support.
