Glucosamine HCl + Chondroitin by Pure Encapsulations provides two compounds that may work to potentially alleviate symptoms related to mild joint pain or stiffness. First of all‚ glucosamine may help maintain the healthy activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes and synthesize chondroitin. Chondroitin plays a role in building the proteoglycans that make up cartilage‚ a form of connective tissue that provides cushioning for your joints.
Together‚ chondroitin and glucosamine might allow you to keep doing the activities you love by promoting joint comfort. A supplement like Glucosamine HCl + Chondroitin may help address the wear and tear that can break down the cartilage in the knees and other areas of the body.
Glucosamine HCl + Chondroitin is a joint support supplement that’s suitable for people with shellfish allergies. The glucosamine comes from chitosan derived from corn fermentation‚ but the final product contains no corn protein or DNA. One capsule provides 400 milligrams of glucosamine HCl and 300 milligrams of bovine chondroitin sulfate.
At the recommended dosage of three capsules a day‚ each 120-capsule bottle of Pure Encapsulations’ Glucosamine HCl + Chondroitin should last for about 40 days.
