Mechanism of action

Glucosamine sulfate serves as a precursor for glycosaminoglycan synthesis, supporting cartilage structure and function. Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of cartilage extracellular matrix that may inhibit cartilage-degrading enzymes and promote water retention in cartilage. Together, these agents are proposed to slow cartilage loss and potentially promote cartilage repair in degenerative joint disease.
