Chondroitin
Overview
Experience the feel-good power of healthy joints.
Chondroitin supports mobility and flexibility by helping to nourish, protect and strengthen cartilage to keep you moving.
Stresses and strains in connective tissue may result in stiffness and lack of flexibility.
As we age, our bodies produce less of the elements needed for our structural tissues to bond collagen fibers. These fibers retain vital moisture in the joints and other tissues required for elasticity, resiliency, and resistance to compression.
Cartilage functions to protect bones from moving against each other and to reduce friction.
Studies on chondroitin sulfate date back as far as the late 1800s. Research continues today as we work to understand how this polysaccharide macromolecule supports joint health.
Although the body produces chondroitin, its production decreases as we age. And though chondroitin is found in foods, it's typically only in small amounts.
Fortunately, the body absorbs chondroitin well, making supplementation a viable alternative.
Benefits
- Supports the production of cartilage's building blocks—glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans & collagen.
- Helps attract fluid into the joints that acts as a sponge or shock absorber during impact.
- May help increase joint flexibility, mobiligy & resiliency.
- Aids in getting essential nutrients to the cartilage.
- Helps protect cartilage from damaging, nutrition-depleting enzymes.
How It Works
Chondroitin helps bond connective tissue to maintain strength.
It also inhibits enzymes that can deplete cartilage nutrition.
Chondroitin attracts fluid and draws nutrients into the cartilage, making the cartilage more shock absorbent. This helps joints have greater flexibility and resiliency, as well as cushioning against activities like jumping and lifting.
In addition, chondroitin works with other nutrients like glucosamine to stimulate the rebuilding and maintenance of cartilage.
Chondroitin also promotes growth and normal tissue generation and keeps enzymes in balance.
Interestingly, chondroitin sulfate is found in blood vessels, skin and other types of connective tissues.
