Glucosamine is a natural sugar produced by your body and found in a wide variety of foods. It is the essential and principal ingredient that determines the quantity of proteoglcycan (water-holding) molecules that are formed in the body. The greater the amount of glucosamine in the body, the greater the amount of proteoglycans.The proteoglycans are large, water-binding molecules made up of (both) proteins and sugars. It is important to understand that it is a major building block of healthy, vital cartilage.
Glucosamine also stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) which are important proteins found in cartilage. They serve to "bind" the water within the cartilage matrix.

Chondroitin Sulphate reduces inflammation and assists the glucosamine in protecting against future cartilage degeneration.
