CHONDROITIN SULFATE
DESCRIPTION : Chondroitin Sulfates (CS) are glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) which are found naturally in the body and are important in maintaining elasticity and integrity of many types of body tissues, including connective tissue and the walls of blood vessels.
BIOCHEMISTRY : Chondroitin sulfates (CS) are a component of cartilage, which in turn is a component of connective tissue. Helping to give support and shape to tissues, cartilage is found in joints, between vertebrae and elsewhere. CS create a net electronegative charge, which attracts water. Hydration maintains the compressibility, elasticity and fluidity of joint movement characteristic of healthy cartilage. As a result of aging, the water content of cartilage decreases, causing problems in joint mobility. The integrity and function of cartilage can also be detrimentally affected by acute traumatic injury, arthritis, malnutition and other conditions. CS are also components of the walls of blood vessels. CS are important in maintaining vascular health. In addition, CS are known to activate lipoprotein lipase on capillary endothelial cells, which helps blood lipids to be metabolized.
INDICATIONS : Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of CS supplementation for the healing of connective and certain other tissues that have been injured or otherwise degraded through malnutition, aging or certain drugs and diseases. CS supplementation may also be indicated as a preventative or possible treatment agent for certain vascular conditions.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE : Two 300 mg. capsules taken three times per day for healing phase. One to three 300 mg. capsules one to three times daily as a maintenance dose.
TOXICITY, CAUTIONS & CONTRAINDICATIONS: Chondroitin Sulfate is considered to be safe and there are no known contra-indications.
