What are Glucosamine & Chondroitin?
Glucosamine & Chondroitin are compounds naturally occurring and found in the connective tissues of the body, including the cartilage that covers the ends of bones in the joints. Laboratory studies suggest that these compounds may inhibit the breakdown of cartilage and may have the potential to help buildup cartilage. Glucosamine has also been shown to have unique anti-inflammatory effects. Early results show Chondroitin also seems to work as an anti-inflammatory and reduce pain. Liberal amounts of Glucosamine and Chondroitin are included in the MaXXiRub formulation.
