What are Glucosamine and Chondroitin?

Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is produced naturally by the body. It is a key building block for cartilage and plays an important role in joint health.* Chondroitin sulfate is a structural component of cartilage and helps to keep it hydrated and spongy.* It also works synergistically with glucosamine to support healthy joints.*

NOW Extra Strength Glucosamine & Chondroitin combines these two well-known joint support ingredients in their sulfate forms. This extra strength product has twice the Glucosamine/Chondroitin (750 mg/600 mg per tablet) as our regular strength product (375 mg/300 mg per capsule).

How Do Glucosamine and Chondroitin Work?

Glucosamine is an essential building block for the formation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s) and proteoglycans, the main components of cartilage tissue.* GAG’s are long chains of repeating disaccharide units that give cartilage its elasticity and compressibility. Proteoglycans are even larger molecules that consist of a protein core with GAG’s attached. They play an important role in the cushioning properties of cartilage by attracting and holding water molecules.*

Chondroitin sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan that has been combined with Glucosamine in this product for the support of proper joint mobility and comfort.* Glycosaminoglycans are negatively charged molecules that attract water into the extracellular space of cartilage, which helps to maintain its structure and function.* In addition, chondroitin sulfate inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage.*
