The building blocks

Glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate are natural, highly concentrated amino sugars. They are among the basic building blocks of joint cartilage, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue, and also occur in the arterial walls and in the skin. The body forms them itself from food; through supplementation they can additionally be supplied in concentrated form.

Glucosamine sulphate is one of the body's own substances involved in forming the gliding and cushioning layers — that is, the cartilage in the joints and the synovial fluid. These substances are called glycosaminoglycans and belong to the mucopolysaccharides, high-polymer compounds of amino sugars, which also include chondroitin sulphate. From glucosamine the body forms chondroitin sulphate, the main component of cartilage.

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body and the main component of connective tissue. Vitamin C is required for the body's own collagen formation — which is why it is part of our joint formulations.
