There are cheaper (and more expensive!) supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin, do these work?
A. Glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate have large and complex molecular structures – too large to pass easily through the small pores in the capillary walls. It just doesn’t get to where it’s needed, it stays in the blood only to be filtered out by the body’s waste system! Most glucosamine supplements do work, but only in a limited way. Most of the ingredients pass through the body… and out again. To try to compensate for this, manufacturers add ever increasing concentrations of glucosamine and chondroitin to their supplements. This is just a waste and simply puts extra pressure on the digestive and waste systems of the body which is a shame – especially if you are seeking a safe and natural remedy! It is the unique method of delivery of the active ingredients in Cortaflex that makes it the world’s best selling joint supplement.
