Chondroitin Sulfate 500 mg

Chondroitin Sulphate comes from numerous animal sources  - the best being recognised as shark cartilage - and is a significant component of all tissue.

Persistent pressure on a joint can weaken or damage the cartilage, leading to discomfort and reduced movement.  Water absorbent Chondroitin Sulphate molecules in the cartilage provide it with its liquid quality.  It's negative electrical charge draws water molecules in and provide cartilage with its slippery surface.

When a joint is at rest, the water in the cartilage softens the joint capsule.  When pressed together however, the hydration is driven out.  Cartilage has no blood supply of its own.  Its nourishment and joint lubrication rely entirely on diffusion, so regeneration is a slow process, and there is generally insufficient time for a full recovery.

Chondroitin Sulphate is therefore most important for growth and repair of cartilage, and is used throughout body tissue from tendons to skin and blood vessels.

The body's ability to assemble chondroitin sulphate from cartilage cells,  is a good indicator of overall health, but decreases with age and may be upset through injury.  Since cartilage throughout the body is constantly deteriorating, chondroitin is the ideal support for total structural health.
