Chondroitin sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) which consists of a chain of alternating sugars (N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid). It is found linked to proteins as part of a proteoglycan. A chondroitin chain, as it is commonly referred to, can consist of over 100 different individual sugars. Each of these sugars can be sulfated in varying positions and in different quantities. The science of glycobiology is related to the process of understanding the functions of this diversity in chondroitin sulfate and the glycosaminoglycans related to it. Chondroitin sulfate is one of the important components in the structure of cartilage and it helps in the provision of resistance to compression. Another important medical use of chondroitin sulfate, along with glucosamine, is its usage as a dietary supplement in the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Glucosamine Sulfate provides lubrication for healthy joints and helps in arthritic pain. It is helpful in alleviating joint pain and other symptoms. It ensures a natural replacement for aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs. It promotes repair in worn-out joints and assists in maintaining normal joint function and resiliency. Studies have shown that glucosamine plays an important role in assisting to keep the joints in the body lubricated and supple. It stimulates manufacturing of glycosaminoglyúcans, which are important structural components in cartilage that line the joints. It also encourages incorporation of sulfur into cartiúlage. This makes glucosamine sulfate the most effective type. It helps control pain and inflammation of degenerative joint disease like osteoarthritis.

Hyaluronic Acid or hyaluronate is an anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan distributed widely throughout connective, neural and epithelial tissues. It is also produced synthetically for its medicinal uses. Hyaluronic acid is used in eye surgery and to treat osteoarthritis of the knee; its injections into the knee joint are believed to increase the viscosity of the joint fluid, thereby lubricating the joint, cushioning the joint, and producing an analgesic effect. It is also used in lotions for treatment of dry skin. Hyaluronic acid has been used in the synthesis of biological scaffolds for wound healing applications. It is also used in anti adhesive products to prevent postoperative adhesions in pelvic and abdominal surgery.

Hydrolyzed Collagen is made up of proteins extracted from the skin, bones, tendons, and blood vessels of bovine, porcine and fish. It contains amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. It is mainly made up of gelatine that helps maintain the health and flexibility of joints, ligaments, tendon and the skin. It prevents wrinkles, joint pains, and muscle loss. It helps relieve the symptoms of arthritis by keeping the joints lubricated. Hydrolyzed Collagen is also known to induce the production of human growth hormone (HGH) that helps the body burn fats for energy. This results in weight loss and development of firm muscles.

MSM is also known as methylsulfonylmethane. It is known to enhance the effectiveness of antioxidants and other bioflavinoids. It is used for increased alertness and ability to concentrate as well as improved mood. MSM is often used to prevent and treat muscle cramps in the legs and back due to inactivity and strenuous use. It improves hair and cuticle growth as well as reduces wrinkles from aging. This supplement also seems to help in the body's ability to produce insulin choline and speeds up the metabolizing carbohydrates.

Silica is silicon dioxide, a trace mineral found in bones, teeth, skin, eyes, glands and organs. It also helps keep skin elastic. Silica works with calcium to maintain bone strength.
