The top quality ingredients in this formula provide a broad spectrum of activity.

Glucosamine sulfateis one of the best-known and safest ingredients for promoting joint health. It is a precursor of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, an essential component of the cartilage matrix. Considerable animal research indicates glucosamine sulfate’s effectiveness in maintaining joint health.

DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA)is a component of the catecholamine neurotransmitter cascade, leading to increased levels of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine, which can in turn increase levels of endorphins and enkephalins.

Bromelainstimulates fribrinolytic activity and inhibits thromboxane A2, which also helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)enhances collagen formation and cartilage growth. Ascorbic acid has been shown to help maintain healthy cartilage.
