Glucosamine and Chondroitin are substances that are produced in our bodies naturally and help serve as building blocks for our connective tissues. The combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin provides joint comfort. Glucosamine stimulates the manufacture of collagen, which is the protein portion of a fibrous substance that holds joints together. Collagen is also the main component of the shock-absorbing cushion called articular cartilage - the white smooth surface which covers the ends of body joints in the fingers, wrists, knees, elbows, toes and ankles. Chondroitin sulfates act like "liquid magnets". They help attract fluid into the proteoglycan molecules. This is important for two reasons; the fluid sweeps nutrients into the cartilage and the fluid acts as a spongy shock absorber.

When cartilage becomes worn, exposed bones can rub together and the painful symptoms of osteoarthritis may appear. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint, including those throughout the spine.

There are no side effects. However, if you are currently pregnant or nursing, consult your physician before using Glu-Chondroitin Top. If you are diabetic, be sure to check your blood glucose regularly, as Glucosamine might increase blood sugars.
