Glucosamine is a charged sugar molecule that is a key component of the extra cellular matrix of cartilage. It absorbs and releases water with each step, thereby acting as a shock absorber for the joints. With more glucosamine there is more joint protection. It is the essential and principal ingredient that determines the quantity of proteoglycan (water-holding) molecules that are formed in the body. The proteoglycans are large, water-binding molecules made up of
(both) proteins and sugars. These are a major building block of
healthy, vital cartilage. Shark Cartilage provides a source of chondroitin sulphate (20%) which works synergistically with glucosamine to assist in rehabilitating the cartilage that is damaged in your body. Our studies indicate that the use of shark cartilage improves the absorption of the glucosamine. Although bovine cartilage is also a source of chondroitin, we elected to use shark cartilage given the public concerns about BSE. (Mad Cow Disease). Chondroitin Sulphate serves to attract fluids into proteoglycan
molecules which assist you in two ways. First, it draws nutrients
into your cartilage. Secondly, it increases the flow of fluid into
your cartilage to add resiliency. It also serves to protect existing
cartilage from premature degeneration by blocking "bad"
enzymes that destroy cartilage and as well, prevent nutrient replenishment.
Chondroitin sulphate is a naturally occurring component of cartilage
that aids in the lubrication and cushioning of joints. Chondroitin
also provides Manganese Ascorbate is a mineral that enhances the effectiveness of both glucosamine and chondroitin sulphates and synthesises the production of healthy cartilage. It is essential for a healthy immune system and aids in the production of mucopolysaccharides, which are critical for maintaining healthy joints. Nettle Leaf Exract is a traditional herbal remedy for the relief of rheumatism. A team of researchers studying Nettle Leaf concluded that “It may inhibit the inflammatory cascade in autoimmune diseases and rheumatoid arthritis”.
Bromelain helps to inhibit pro-inflammatory compounds which reduce pain and swelling. Unlike aspirin, bromelain does not inhibit the production of prostaglandins, essential to healthy joints. Boswellin has been used for centuries in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine to maintain healthy joints. Boswellic acids improve blood supply to the joints and maintain the integrity of blood vessels. At least one study has indicated that they may open up collateral blood circulation to provide a more adequate blood supply to your joints. Boswellin also serves to reduce swelling and improve mobility where individuals experience stiffness in the joints. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) mobilises your body's self-defense mechanisms that in turn, assist your immune system in overcoming disease. It is also a powerful antioxidant required to produce collagen, which is the main supportive protein in cartilage, tendon, and connective tissue. Collagen is the protein that "holds our bodies together" and is critical to the structure and integrity of healthy joints and also protects against bone deterioration.

So
how do these ingredients work together to provide maximum relief?
Yucca
has a lengthy history in easing stiff joints by blocking compounds
that prevent the normal formation of cartilage. The root is rich
in saponins that elevate your body's ability to produce "natural"
cortisone. Yucca also helps to block the release of toxins from
the intestines that inhibit the normal function of cartilage.
