Glycosaminoglycans

• Bovine Tracheal Cartilage is a rich natural source of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) including Chondroitin -4-and -6- Sulfates.* GAGs are the principal components of cartilage and synovial fluid found in joints and make up connective tissues like collagen, tendons, and ligaments. Chondroitin sulfates are highly concentrated in healthy connective tissue of the spine and intervertebral discs.* They support connective tissue function and maintain healthy intervertebral discs by providing building blocks for the nourishment and support of spinal discs and the surrounding connective tissues of the spine and are essential for repair and the synthesis of connective tissue.* Our raw material supplier documents the origin and health of the animals used in manufacturing and certifies our bovine cartilage to be BSE (Bovine Spongiform encephalapathy) free.*

Minerals

• Manganese helps maintain the optimal structure and elastic nature of connective tissues, including those of the interverteb ral discs.* It is also required for normal bone growth and synthesis, formation of cartilage, healthy nerve function, and healthy synovial fluid within joints.*
• Magnesium plays an important role in neuromuscular contraction.* It also assists in calcium and potassium uptake and is used as a catalyst in enzyme activity.*
• Calcium builds and maintains healthy bones and teeth.* It is also needed for muscle growth, repair and contractions and is used in transmission of nerve impulses.*
• Zinc is required for protein synthesis, collagen function, and is v ital for bone formation.* It is also a constituent of at least 25 enzymes involved in digestion and metabolism, including carbonic anhydrase, which is necessary for tissue respiration.*
• Silicon (from Pectin and Equisetum arvense) is an important constituent of GAGs and is involved in the formation of bone and other types of connective tissue.* It also supp orts calcium absorption.*

Vitamins

• Vitamin C enhances GAG metabolism and aids in the production of collagen.* Vitamin C is essential for tissue growth and repair.* Pectin is a buffering agent for vitamin C.*
• Vitamin B6 is needed for normal brain and nervous system function.* Vitamin B6 is involved in the formation of certain proteins and is vital for activating many enzymes within the body.*
• Vitamin D is important for the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorou s which are needed for bone formation.* Vitamin D is necessary for normal calcification of bones and teeth and protects against muscle weakness.*

Amino Acids

• Taurine is found in h igh levels in the muscle and nervous system and is vital for the proper utilization of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.* Taurine is a biological source of sulfate.*
• Serine is involved in muscle growth and is found in large amounts in the brain and nervous system.* It is an amino acid that links the glycosaminoglycan structure to the protein portion of connective tissues.*

Enzymes

• Pepsin digests proteins and supports silicon absorption.*

Suggested Use:

• Take 2 tablets, 3 times daily
