GLUCARTROL FORTE 20 SACHETS

Dietary supplement based on glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, physiological components of our body present in joint cartilage. Glucosamine is naturally present in the human body and is used for the biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid in synovial fluid and proteoglycans in articular cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is one of the main building blocks of cartilage where, bound to proteins, it forms proteoglycans, gelatinous-viscous substances that give cartilage its characteristic mechanical-elastic properties. In degenerative conditions such as arthritis, a metabolic defect in the biosynthesis of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate and therefore of cartilage proteoglycans occurs, resulting in progressive deterioration of joint function due to cartilage degeneration. The exogenous supply of glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate has a trophic effect on articular cartilage, compensating for cartilage deficiency, stimulating the synthesis of proteoglycans, and thus halting or slowing the degenerative joint process underlying arthritic diseases. Neither glucosamine sulfate nor chondroitin sulfate, considered separately, possess all the specific characteristics of a chondroprotective agent: this occurs instead when their effects are combined and administered simultaneously.
