Vitamins for joints
prices on 30 modelsVitamins for joints
— vitamin and mineral complexes designed to strengthen joints and maintain their health. Such complexes can be useful not only for those who have joint issues but even for healthy people — as a preventive measure, especially with increased loads on the musculoskeletal system.The main active ingredients of this type of supplement are usually glucosamine and/or chondroitin. Glucosamine is the main material from which cartilage tissues are formed. Chondroitin, in turn, protects and strengthens such tissues (it is a chondroprotector), promotes their regeneration, eliminates inflammatory processes and reduces pain during injuries and diseases. Natural sources of such substances are cartilage, tendons and skin of animals, including fish, but these products are often almost absent in the diet of modern man.
In addition to the ingredients mentioned above, vitamins for joints may also contain other active substances of a similar purpose — for example, to improve the production of intra-articular fluid or to eliminate inflammatory processes.
