Advanced Joint Formula, 120 caps.

Chondroitin is a complex carbohydrate found in our connective tissues. In the cartilage that cushions the joints, it will draw fluid into the tissues; important as there is no blood supplied to cartilage. This fluid draws important nutrients to the area, making the cartilage spongier and more capable of absorbing shocks. Many researchers are convinced that chondroitin can strengthen the protein strands that make up connective tissue. Some evidence has shown that it can reduce inflammation and repair cartilage, especially if the tissue has not been totally damaged. Chondroitin seems to play an active role in reducing pain that often accompanies joint problems.

Glucosamine is a natural substance created by the body and found in certain foods. It plays an important role in the production and health of cartilage, the soft rubber-like padding that cushions the ends of bones and prevents them from grinding painfully against each other as the joint moves. It also helps develop ligaments, tendons and nails. Usually our joints make sufficient glucosamine to keep the cartilage in good shape, but as we age, we lose some glucosamine and other substances. The cartilage can dry out, deteriorate, crack or become thin from wear. Left exposed, joints may become inflamed, stiff, swollen, tender and painful.

Creatine Monohydrate is an amino acid compound that is stored in muscle tissue where it is used to create the energy required by muscles. It is essential to muscle contraction and helps in the muscle-building process.
