Glucosamine & Chondroitin Information
Chondroitin is a simple molecule that occurs naturally in the body. It is a major component of cartilage — the tough, connective tissue that cushions the joints. Chondroitin helps to keep cartilage resilient by absorbing fluid (particularly water) into the connective tissue. It is also believed to block enzymes that break down cartilage and it provides the building blocks needed for cartilage to repair itself. Chondroitin is believed to be more effective when taken along with glucosamine, a supplement thought to be effective in treating OA. Chondroitin is also an effective treatment for osteoarthritis (OA). OA is a type of arthritis caused by the inflammation, breakdown, and eventual loss of cartilage. Chondroitin supplements have been shown to decrease the pain of OA and slow the progression of the disease.
