Cream for joints with chondroitin

A high molecular weight mucopolysaccharide, chondroitin sulfate, plays the main role in the construction of bone and cartilage tissue. It helps to reduce bone tissue resorption and calcium loss, slows down the processes of degeneration in cartilaginous tissue, and also has a beneficial effect on tissue repair, speeding up this process.

The peculiarity of this substance as proteoglycan is that chondroitin keeps water in the cartilage thickness. To this end, water cavities are formed which have a good cushioning effect and absorb impacts, as a result of which the strength of the connective tissue increases.

Another important ability of chondroitin sulfate is its ability to inhibit the actions of certain enzymes that affect destructively the connective tissue. Such enzymes, for example, include the lysosomal enzyme, which are formed as a result of the destruction of chondrocytes( cathepsin, elastase, interleukin-1, peptidase, etc.).
