Chondroitin [Structural] helps bond connective tissue to maintain strength and inhibits enzymes that can deplete cartilage nutrition. (Cartilage functions to protect bones from moving against each other and to reduce friction.)
Chondroitin helps retain moisture in the joints, allowing for flexibility and resiliency, and cushioning against activities like jumping and lifting.
In addition, chondroitin works with other nutrients like glucosamine to stimulate the rebuilding and maintenance of cartilage.
The body produces chondroitin, but that production decreases as we grow older.
Chondroitin is found in foods, but usually only in small amounts. Fortunately, the body absorbs chondroitin well, making supplementation a viable alternative.
Each capsule contains 300 mg of chondroitin sulfate.
Adults: Take 2 capsules with a meal twice daily. Drink 8 oz. water along with the capsules.

Miscellaneous Information:
Many people suffer stresses and strains in their connective tissues, which may result in joint inflammation, stiffness, and some forms of arthritis. As we age, our bodies become less efficient manufacturing the elements needed for the Structural System. Used in structural tissues to bond collagen fibers, these fibers retain vital moisture in the joints and other tissues required for elasticity, resiliency, and resistance to compression. Chondroitin sulfate is also found in the skin, blood vessels, and other types of connective tissues.
