Glucosamine & Chondroitin Sulfate - Extra Strength Formula
This super-high potency glucosamine and chondroitin formula was designed with three things in mind - quality, convenience and reliability. By offering 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate along with 1200 mg of chondroitin sulfate (min 90%) NOW Extra Strength Glucosamine/Chondroitin Sulfate is our strongest CGS supplement to date, and has quickly become one of our most popular joint support formulas.

What is glucosamine?
Glucosamine is composed of glucose and glutamine (an amino acid). It is utilized by chondrocytes to form glycosaminoglycans (GSG's) and proteoglycans. Both of these constituents attract and bind water into cartilage, increasing resiliency.

How is glucosamine manufactured?
Glucosamine is supplied mostly by China. The shells of shrimp and crabs have their proteins and minerals removed producing Chitin or poly N-acetylglucosamine. Manufacturers use acid with a depolymerizing and deacetylating process to produce glucosamine hydrochloride or glucosamine sulfate.

What is the source of your Chondroitin, and is it BSE free?
NOW Chondroitin is derived from bovine tracheal tissue. The cattle are raised in China. As with all of our raw materials, we screen Chondroitin very carefully for the presence of any undesirable microbes, and is BSE Free.
