How Does Cosamin DS Work?
Laboratory cartilage cell culture research has demonstrated that the two main ingredients in Cosamin DS, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, work in synergy to stimulate the production of cartilage matrix components and inhibit enzymes that break down cartilage.
Why Do We Need Joint Health Support?
Joints are the junction between two or more bones. The ends of the bones are covered with cartilage which serves as a smooth, resilient cushion that allows the joint to move freely. The protective cartilage cushion and joint fluid work together like a shock absorber to allow for proper joint flexibility.
When you do even the simplest of everyday activities, there is tremendous pressure on your joints. The ingredients in Cosamin DS help support and promote joint health for those feeling the effects of aging and physical activity.
Why Does Cartilage Break Down?
Cartilage lacks a direct blood supply. It relies on nutrients found in the joint fluid to nourish cartilage cells and maintain its structure. When this process is affected by one or more of the factors mentioned above, cartilage can break down to the point where it can no longer work efficiently.
Factors include:•Age•Excess weight•Inactivity or over activity•Injury•Genetics
