Glucosamine sulfate plays a key role in the formation of cartilage, the tough connective tissue that cushions the joints and its repair. Several scientific studies have shown that glucosamine is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis and diminishes joint pain. Chondroitin sulfate plays an essential role in providing cartilage elasticity. It promotes the transport of water and nutrient into cartilage, inhibits enzymes that causes cartilage destruction, and alleviates inflammation. Both ingredients have gained widespread support in the treatment of arthritic conditions. Glucosamine and Chondroitin work in synergy to enhance the effects each has in reducing the symptoms of osteoarthritis. MapleLife’s Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate capsules works to reduce and relieve the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis; helps in the formation of connective tissues and building of healthy cartilage; and relieves joint pain, especially in the knee region.
