Product Description:

Cosamin DS is a patented, scientifically researched dietary supplement taken by thousands of people to help maintain healthy joints. As you age, it is common for you to become less flexible which can impact your mobility and quality of life. Whether from illness, injury or family history, many people are prone to problems with joint function.

Cosamin DS is an exclusive formula of three ingredients:

• TRH122 chondroitin sulfate1
• FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride2
• Manganese Ascorbate

These ingredients have been scientifically formulated to safely support and maintain the health of your joints. Published clinical studies have shown that Cosamin DS works to maintain the structure of the cartilage in your joints while inhibiting the enzymes that break down cartilage. It is very important to note that the published clinical studies on Cosamin DS do not apply to other brands because other brands do not contain the same exclusive combination of ingredients found in Cosamin DS.

How Does Cosamin DS Work?
The exclusive combination of TRH122 chondroitin sulfate, FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, and manganese ascorbate in Cosamin DS works together to maintain the structure of your joint cartilage while slowing down the enzymes that break down cartilage.

Think of this process as a football game! Glucosamine hydrochloride is the offense. This ingredient acts as a building block of cartilage by supplying a key component that keeps cartilage cells healthy and functioning properly. Chondroitin sulfate is the defense. This component blocks the enzymes that break down cartilage. The specific chondroitin sulfate, exclusive to CosaminDS, is the most pure form available on the market. Manganese ascorbate is the special team. It optimizes the production of cartilage components. Cosamin DS has been used since 1992 in people and animals to maintain joint health. While the ingredients have been used separately, published controlled studies show the patented combination of ingredients in Cosamin DS is superior to using the ingredients alone. On the label different brands appear to be the same, but unlike drugs, the ingredients in dietary supplements are not equivalent.

What Is Joint Cartilage?

Cartilage is a slippery and resilient tissue produced and maintained by its own specialized cells. It cushions the surfaces where two or more bones form a flexible joint. When you do even the simplest exercises or everyday activities there is tremendous pressure on your joints. Cartilage, joint fluid, and underlying bone work together like a shock absorber allowing flexible joint function.

Because cartilage lacks a direct blood supply, nutrients must pass into the cartilage from surrounding tissue. These nutrients sustain cartilage cells and provide the components necessary to maintain a healthy cartilage structure.

Scientists are not sure about all the factors that cause cartilage breakdown; however, they have discovered enzymes that play a role in the process. With age, injury, or over-activity, this process of breakdown can exceed the process of replacement leading to problems in the joints. These problems result in less flexibility. That's when its time for Cosamin DS which maintains the cartilage structure and inhibits the enzymes that break down cartilage. Cartilage studies have shown that the combination of ingredients in Cosamin DS works better together than any of the ingredients separately.
