Chondroitin Plus - 90 capsules

Chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, calcium, vitamin D and E

Chondroitin consists of repeating chains of molecules called mucopolysaccharides. In addition to the structuring of the cartilage, it is responsible for the water binding capacity and the nutrient permeability. Since cartilage contains no blood vessels that could supply it with nutrients, nutrient permeability is of particular importance. This property ensures that the cartilage is nourished on a diffusion basis and is supplied with all the important nutrients.

Hyaluronic acid: lubricant and shock absorber

Hyaluronic acid also plays an important role in our joints. It has functions such as cushioning and lubrication, the supply of nutrients to the cartilage and transportation of waste products of cell metabolism. In addition, it is indispensable for the health of the synovial fluid (joint fluid).
The joints of the human body can be compared to the engine of a car. The hyaluronic acid in the joint is roughly equivalent to the oil in the engine. This oil must be changed at regular intervals because heat, combustion residues, friction and oil aging reduce its viscosity. The lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil and the less able it is to protect the metal surfaces inside the engine or to lubricate the engine. Hyaluronic acid plays the same role in our joints.

Vitamin D for strong bones

Vitamin D is needed by the body as an absorption aid in order to be able to absorb calcium. As an "installation helper", it is an indispensable partner for calcium, as it is involved in its absorption and storage in the bones.

Vitamin E protects the cells

Vitamin has antioxidant properties that can protect cells and tissues.

Studies show an increased bioavailability with delayed consumption of glucosamine and chondroitin

The staggered consumption of the joint nutrients glucosamine and chondroitin increases bioavailability and strengthens joint protection.
Excerpt from a study published in 2006 by Jackson in the Official Journal of the American College of Rheumatism (ACR ) was published: "If you look at the combinations of glucosamine and chondroitin, which have become more and more topical over the past few years, additive effects of both components have recently been shown. Even better results can be expected if glucosamine and chondroitin are given at different times, since chondroitin reduces the absorption of glucosamine by up to 42% and thus has a negative effect.”
The detailed work on this is meanwhile also published in 2010 in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage on pages 297 to 302.
