MendWell Joint Support

The joint cartilage is composed of collagen fibers, which impart tensile strength, and proteoglycan molecules (especially chondroitin and hyaluronic acid), which serve as a shock- absorbing cushion. The hands, as well as weight-bearing joints (knees, hips and spine), are areas that undergo the greatest stress from the impacting pressure of weight and movement. In order to maintain joint health, it is important that the collagen matrix, or the support structure of the cartilage, remains intact. Glucosamine is an aminomonosaccharide, which is a component of almost all human tissues, including cartilage. Glucosamine is the principal component of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which form the matrix of all connective tissues.

Suggested Use:

1 capsules 2 times per day or as recommended by your health care professional

• Supports Joint Integrity and Movement
• Helps Protect Cartilage Cells
• Enhances Synthesis of Proteoglycans for Healthy Connective Tissue
• Maintains Normal Inflammatory Balance

Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride

This ingredient stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans, and helps incorporate sulfur into the cartilage to maintain its gel-like structure. Glucosamine is the most fundamental building block for the biosynthesis of compounds required to make a healthy joint. It also helps to stimulate chondrocytes (cells that make cartilage) and further incorporate sulfur into the cartilage. Glucosamine has also been found to maintain normal inflammatory balance and alleviate oxidative stress in the body.
