Glucosamine and chondroitin: building blocks of joints

Life Extension Glucosamine Chondroitin Capsules combines glucosamine and chondroitin, two substances commonly found in cartilage and joints. The body makes these substances itself, but production decreases as we age. Bone broth, crustacean shells and animal joints are the main dietary sources. With a supplement, you can then easily supplement glucosamine and chondroitin so that you continue to have access to these building blocks.

Life Extension Glucosamine Chondroitin Capsules are free of GMOs and gluten. They are produced according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines and tested for absence of heavy metals and microbiology.

Glucosamine and chondroitin in research

Glucosamine and chondroitin have been widely researched as supplements for joints, both individually and as a combination. Here, Life Extension opts for a combination of 400 mg glucosamine and 450 mg chondroitin.

400 mg Glucosamine sulphate

Glucosamine is a carbohydrate with a nitrogen group. The body makes it from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is a building block for larger molecules, including glycosaminoglycans (such as chondroitin) and proteoglycans.

One capsule of Life Extension Glucosamine Chondroitin Capsules contains 400 mg of glucosamine sulphate. Glucosamine sulphate is the best researched form of glucosamine in supplements. It comes from the shells of crustaceans.

450 mg Chondroitin sulphate

Chondroitin is a long-chain carbohydrate in the category of glycosaminoglycans. It is an important component of cartilage and joints and is also found in skin, bones and ligaments.

One capsule of Life Extension Glucosamine Chondroitin Capsules contains 450 mg of chondroitin sulphate. This is the most commonly used form of chondroitin in supplements.
