Optimum Nutrition Glucosamine Plus CSA 120tab

Glucosamine is the main building block for connective tissue. It participates in the formation of articular cartilage, ligaments, tendons, is present in the walls of blood vessels, bronchi, skin and mucous membranes.

The glucosamine molecule is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, after which glucosamine is delivered to the cartilage and other tissues, where it is synthesized into the necessary components, including chondroitin sulfate. The biologically active additive has an increased bioavailability, therefore it is well absorbed even if the absorption of nutrients is impaired against the background of diseases of the digestive system.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin - promotes the restoration of cartilage tissue, improves the formation of intra-articular fluid, reduces muscle fatigue, strengthens connective tissue.

Chondroitin sulfate - stimulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, strengthening connective tissue structures, including cartilage.

Inhibits the action of proteolytic enzymes that destroy cartilage, has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, reduces pain in the joints and spine at rest and while walking
It is a chondroprotective agent that enhances regeneration and increases the shock-absorbing properties of cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is a high molecular weight polysaccharide that belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans (or proteoglycans), just like glucosamine sulfate has a tropism for cartilage tissue, initiates the process of sulfur fixation during the synthesis of chondroitin sulfuric acid, which in turn contributes to the deposition of calcium in bones.
Chondroitin sulfate promotes active cartilage regeneration. It is a chondroprotective agent ("chondroprotection" means cartilage protection).
A feature of chondroitin sulfate among proteoglycans is its ability to retain water in the thickness of the cartilage in the form of water cavities (microspaces - water cushions), which create good shock absorption and absorb shocks, which ultimately increases the strength of connective tissue.
An important effect of chondroitin sulfate is its ability to inhibit the action of specific enzymes that destroy connective tissue, including lysosomal enzymes released as a result of the destruction of chondrocytes (elastase, peptidase, cathepsin, interleukin-1, etc.).
Chondroitin sulfate, like glucosamine, has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, reduces pain in the joints and spine at rest and when walking.
Regular intake of chondroitin sulfate reduces, and sometimes completely eliminates, the need for NSAIDs. And this means an improvement in the quality of life of patients who have been suffering from various diseases of the joints and spine for many years.
Chondroitin sulfate is also necessary for any pathological processes of connective tissue, not only cartilage, but also tendons, ligaments and, of course, skin. Therefore, not only sports physicians should have chondroitin sulfate in their arsenal, but also literate dermatologists and cosmetologists, unfortunately, the latter very rarely turn to cosmetics for oral administration. Chondroitin sulfate, like vitamins A, B, C, E, can be called enteral cosmetic preparations.
With all these advantages, Chondroitin sulfate has one more property - it is absolutely safe.
