DESCRIPTION

Allschoolabs Glucosamine & Chondroitin Plus is formulated to help support

healthy joint function by providing nutritional components

necessary for cartilage synthesis and maintenance.

FUNCTIONS

Joint disease, mainly osteoarthritis is a potentially debilitating

condition that affects the soft tissue matrix that ?cushions?

our joints. To help support the structural integrity of joint

cartilage, glucosamine and chondroitin offer significant

benefits. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are both

integral components of healthy joint tissue and are the forms

that have been used in the major clinical trials. Glucosamine

sulfate helps support the production, and limit the breakdown

of proteoglycans, a class of compounds that make up the

cartilage matrix of joint tissue.

Chondroitin sulfate has been shown to support the structural

matrix of joints as well as the production of hyaluronic

acid (major component of synovial fluid which keeps joints

?lubricated? and moving freely).

Chondroitin sulfate may also help limit chondrocytes from

producing enzymes and other compounds that stimulate the

breakdown of the cartilage matrix of joint tissue. To help

support healthy cartilage, manganese and vitamin C are added

because they are essential for the production of the collagen

matrix that helps support the structural integrity of cartilage.

INDICATIONS

Glucosamine & Chondroitin Plus may be a useful dietary

supplement for those who wish to support healthy functioning

and flexibility of the joints by maintaining cartilage integrity.

SUGGESTED USE

Adults take 3 tablets daily at mealtime or as directed by a
