Osteoarthritis is characterized by joint degeneration and loss of cartilage. As we get older the ‘wear and tear’ may cause degenerative changes in the cartilage. The cartilage becomes more susceptible to breakdown and damage.
Glucosamine is a major building block of the substances that together with protein form the structural units in cartilage. Supplementary glucosamine sulfate as glucosamine sulfate sodium chloride complex helps reduce cartilage wear, increase joint mobility and decrease joint stiffness in osteoarthritis. Chondroitin, like glucosamine, is a natural component of cartilage. Chondroitin is also involved in the lubrication and nutrition of the joint, and helps the joints to resist compression.
Manganese and boron are minerals which appear to play roles in joint health. Manganese is essential for the production of cartilage and bone
