Glucosamine Chondroitin by Designs for Health combines glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate to promote healthy joint function. These compounds are the building blocks of cartilage and may help promote normal cartilage development. They may also promote a healthy inflammatory response to support joint health and healthy aging. Glucosamine plays a role in the structure of articular cartilage, or the cartilage found in joints. Chondroitin is also a critical component of the articular cartilage extracellular matrix, including acting as a part of proteoglycan to support cartilage health and joint function. Glucosamine and chondroitin also promote a healthy inflammatory response. The two may act synergistically to promote healthy cartilage and joint function and support the healthy aging process.
