PRODUCT DISCUSSION
PhysioLogics Chondroitin Sulfate provides 500 mg per capsule and 1,500 mg per day of Chondroitin, a compound that promotes healthy enzymatic metabolism of cartilage.
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
Chondroitin Sulfate is a natural constituent of cartilage, made up of repeating chains of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Chondroitin Sulfate is a highly charged polyanion, promoting water retention in the connective tissue to support joint flexibility and cushion joints. Composed of Nacetyl-galactosamine and glucuronic acid, Chondroitin Sulfate provides a raw material for proteoglycan and GAG synthesis to actually help renew cartilage. Chondroitin Sulfate also promotes healthy enzymatic metabolism of cartilage, to further maintain joint health.
CLINICAL EVIDENCE
A total of 120 subjects were given 800 mg Chondroitin Sulfate or placebo for two, three-month periods over the course of a year. Subjects receiving Chondroitin Sulfate had significantly improved knee function as compared to the placebo group. (Uebelhart et al, 2004) Another placebo-controlled study showed that subjects consuming 1 g/day Chondroitin Sulfate had significantly improved joint comfort and overall joint health (Lequesne's algofunctional index, AFI) when compared to placebo. (Mazieres et al, 2001)
SUMMARY
Chondroitin Sulfate promotes healthy enzymatic metabolism of cartilage to maintain joint health.
