Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The active components of the agent are actively involved in the biosynthesis of connective tissue, prevent and restrain bone tissue resorption, and help to stimulate cartilage regeneration.
Glucosamine is one of the building materials of cartilage tissue, its deficiency causes an aggravation of the latter's degeneration, the development of inflammatory processes, and, ultimately, leads to the appearance of osteoarthritis. The intake of exogenous glucosamine leads to an increase in the production of cartilage matrix, which provides non-specific protection of the cartilage from chemical damage. Against the background of long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticosteroids, the substance prevents the development of metabolic destruction of cartilage.
Glucosamine demonstrates an anti-inflammatory and moderate analgesic effect, improves joint mobility in the event of osteoarthritis, helps to reduce calcium loss and improve calcium-phosphorus metabolism in the cartilage tissue, slows down the destruction of connective tissue and degeneration of the cartilaginous surfaces of the joints. The active ingredient of the dietary supplement suppresses the activity of enzymes that negatively affect cartilage complexes (hyaluronidase, elastase), stimulates the production of glucosamine glycans, helps to normalize the viscosity of the synovial fluid and restore the joint capsule.
Chondroitin is a high molecular weight mucopolysaccharide found in high doses in bones, cartilage and connective tissue. To enhance the therapeutic effect, it is advisable to combine glucosamine with chondroitin. The combined effect of the active substances of the drug helps to reduce the severity of pain in the affected joints and increase their mobility.
