Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar of cartilage that provides the basic raw material needed by the body to manufacture joint cartilage. Chondroitin is another naturally occurring mucopolysaccharide of cartilage that stimulates cartilage production, inhibits cartilage destroying enzymes, draws fluid to the cells and helps lubricate the joints. Glucosamine and Chondroitin work synergistically together to help stimulate the production and regeneration of connective tissues (e.g., cartilage, bone, tendon, skin, mucous membrane, blood vessels etc.). Undenatured Type II Collagen also known as Chicken Collagen Type II that works by oral tolerization. This Undenatured type II Collagen contains epitopes that interacts with the peyer’s patch in the intestine. It prevents the immune system from releasing destructive collagen specific T-cell. This T-cell is responsible for degradation of collagen in the joints. This causes halting the erosion of joint cartilage. As inflammation subsides the disequilibrium of cartilage turnover shifts in favor of rebuilding. It appears that once the destructive cycle is broken, the joint cartilage begins to repair itself through collagen building activities that are part of normal cartilage remodelling process.

There is no known drug interaction with Undenatured type II Collagen, Glucosamine and Chondroitin.
