What is Bio-Glucosamine MEGA?
Glucosamine is used within the body to form more complex molecules (proteoglycans) necessary for the maintenance and repair of joint cartilage and related tissues (ligaments, tendons). Glucosamine increases proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage cells (chondrocytes), as well as inhibiting the action of the enzymes normally responsible for the degradation of cartilage.
