Chondroitin Sulfate (US Bovine)

History:

Chondroitin is one of a group of substances classified as glycosaminoglycans (sometimes called mucopolysaccharides), which are complex types of carbohydrate molecules. Chondroitin is an important element for the creation of cartilage, the tough, yet flexible, connective tissue found in the joints that cushions and protects them. Cartilage can also be found in other parts of the body, including the tips of our noses and on our outer ears. The glycosaminoglycans attach to proteins, such as collagen and elastin, forming even more complex substances called proteoglycans, an essential component in cartilage tissue. Chondroitin attracts water to the proteoglycans and holds it there, which is vital for maintaining healthy cartilage. It can also protect existing cartilage from premature degeneration by blocking certain enzymes that may harm cartilage. Good supplemental sources of Chrondroitin are usually derived from cow-trachea cartilage or powdered shark cartilage, and Herbal Extracts Plus is proud to present the finest Chrondroitin Sulfate nutritional supplements derived from natural cow-trachea sources. It is suggested that when taken in conjunction with Glucosamine Sulfate, they work together synergistically and more efficiently.
