1
Chondroitin sulfate sodium
UNII 6IC1M3OG5Z - CHONDROITIN SULFATE (BOVINE)
|
|
Chondroitin sulfate belongs to the polysaccharide subgroup of glycosaminoglycans. Chondroitin sulfate is one of the main elements of the cartilage, which joins a central protein, forming what we know as proteoglycan, which is what gives the cartilage its mechanical and elastic properties. |

Glucosamine

Glucosamine is an endogenous substance, a normal constituent of the polysaccharide chains of cartilage matrix and synovial fluid glucosaminoglycans. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown glucosamine stimulates the synthesis of physiological glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans by chondrocytes and of hyaluronic acid by synoviocytes. |
