Formed from a long chain of sugar molecules, chondroitin acts like a 'liquid magnet', helping to attract fluid into the proteoglycan molecules. The fluid acts as spongy shock absorber, and also sweeps nutrients into the cartilage. Joint cartilage has no blood supply which means its nourishment and lubrication comes from the liquid which enters and leaves the cartilage as pressure is applied to the joint. Our proprietary blend is already prepared in the proper ratio. It is recommended that you take this supplement with food.
Sulfate means that the glucosamine is attached to a sulfur and oxygen atoms.
