Products > Glucosamine & Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin Sulfate (CS) is a Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) found in connective tissue and the nervous system, normally attached to a protein core. CS GAG chains are heteropolycaccharides of variable length comprised of alternating sugars D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNac). In some of these sugars, some GlcA residues are epimerized into L-iduronic acid (IdoA), in which case the GAG chain would be called dermatan Sulfate (DS). In the matrix of cartilage, CS functions to maintain osmotic pressure by absorbing water and therefore help hydrate the cartilage. CS also contributes to the flexibility and elasticity of the bone. Most importantly, it serves as a chondroprotective agent by protecting the cartilage against enzymatic reactions and free radical damage (including nitric oxide released by chondrocytes). In the nervous system, Chondroitin Sulfates are attached to a family of proteoglycans that serve to regulate the growth and development of the nervous system as well as the nervous system response to injury. A combination of Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine is receiving attention for the treatment of osteoarthritis. While there are no firm clinical data indicating that this combination is effective, radiographic evidence from a clinical trial suggests that taking these may retard disease progress. Suggested Uses: 1-Treatment of Arthritis. 2-Cancer. 3-Wound Healing. Caution: Avoid if pregnant and in lactating women.
