Glucosamine + Chondroitin Capsules 250mg/200mg (TGP) – 100
Chondroitin is a naturally occurring substance made from sugar chains. It is used to help the body maintain fluids and keep the flexibility in our joints. Glucosamine, on the other hand, is a sugar protein that is used by our bodies to build cartilage. Glucosamine is naturally found in our bones, bone marrow, in shellfish, and in fungus (like mushrooms). When combined, these two are mainly used to treat osteoarthritis pain.
