Chondroitin

Chondroitin is a mucopolysaccharide (a carbohydrate responsible for tissue connection and secretions) and is critical to the body's production of cartilage.  As a relative of glucosamine, Chondroitin is found in various animal sources and is critical in the maintenance of joint health.  Chondroitin has outstanding sulfate properties which provide the body with a laxative, removing waste and toxins from the body.

 

By stabilizing and maintaining healthy body structure, Chondroitin enables the body to receive and store nutrients to promote healthy cartilage.  Since cartilage does not receive nutrition through the blood like other parts of the body, Chondroitin is needed to aid cartilage in being as healthy as possible, by supplying nutrients that the body can not attain alone.  Healthy cartilage enhances performance, reducing aches in the joints and enabling the body to train more.

 

Japanese research demonstrates numerous benefits attributed to Chondroitin supplementation.  Researchers are now able to examine the temporomandibular joint (the jaw) as a preventative measure to determine ones health by obtaining cartilage cells' synovial fluid which lubricates joints.  Chondroitin also proves to have positive effects in the development of the fetus.  In other areas of the body, such as blood vessels and the bladder, Chondroitin maintains the circulatory system by enhancing the removal of waste from the body and improving the nutrient retention cycle.

 

When obtaining over 10 grams daily, one may experience nausea.  If you want to boost your cartilage to construct a strong foundation for overall health and fitness, add Chondroitin to your nutritional routine!
