Advanced Joint Patch-CR™

Glucosamine is a natural sugar produced by the body and found in certain foods. It is found largely in cartilage and plays an important role in the health and resiliency of this tissue. As we age, we lose some of the glucosamine and other substances in cartilage. This can lead to the thinning of cartilage and the onset and progression of arthritis.

Chondroitin has the added ability to protect existing cartilage. Chondroitin sulfates act like 'liquid magnets'. It helps attract fluid into the proteoglycan molecules. This is important for two reasons; the fluid sweeps nutrients into the cartilage and the fluid acts as a spongy shock absorber. It has been demonstrated that chondroitin can protect existing cartilage from a premature break.

Vitamin C enhances the absorption of and synergy between glucosamine and chondroitin. Vitamin C is essential for the building of collagen, the most abundant protein built in our bodies and the major component of connective tissue. Vitamin C plays an important role as an anti-oxidant and free radical scavenger of inflammatory bio-chemicals, which may further damage normal joint tissue.

Manganese
The primary role of manganese is as a coenzyme in a variety of metabolic processes. Manganese supports mineral transport and absorption, which keeps skin, bones and cartilage healthy. It helps the body produce energy from foods, and it is also involved in thyroid function and bone formation. In addition, manganese is involved in immune system function, and it can help to heal muscular strains and sprains.
