Benefits of Extra Strength Glucosamine & Chondroitin

Joint pain is a common complaint among people of all ages. If you're looking for a natural way to support your joints, you may want to consider taking a supplement that contains glucosamine and chondroitin. Both of these substances are found naturally in the body, and they play an important role in joint health. Read on to learn more about the benefits of extra strength glucosamine and chondroitin.

What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is an amino sugar that's found naturally in the body. It's a building block for glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans, which are substances that help maintain the structure of cartilage.* Cartilage is the tissue that cushions the joints and allows them to move smoothly.

The body uses glucosamine to produce GAGs and proteoglycans, but the production of these substances decreases with age.* This decrease may contribute to the development of joint pain and stiffness.* Taking a supplement that contains glucosamine can help increase the level of GAGs and proteoglycans in the body, which may help reduce joint pain and stiffness.*

What is Chondroitin?

Chondroitin is a substance that's found naturally in cartilage.* It's a type of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that helps maintain the structure of cartilage by absorbing water and nutrients.* Chondroitin also prevents enzymes from breaking down cartilage.* Like glucosamine, the body's production of chondroitin decreases with age, which may contribute to joint pain and stiffness.* Taking a supplement that contains chondroitin can help increase the level of this substance in the body, which may help reduce joint pain and stiffness.*

The combination of glucosamine and chondroitin has been shown to be more effective than either substance alone in reducing joint pain and stiffness.* This extra strength product provides twice the amount of glucosamine and chondroitin as our regular strength product. If you're looking for a natural way to support your joints, give NOW Extra Strength Glucosamine & Chondroitin a try. Your joints will thank you!*
