Chondroitin: It prevents the breakdown of protective cartilage in the joints and stimulates its repair, keeping it strong, flexible, and healthy.
-
Chitosan - extracted from crustacean shells, chitosan helps optimize chondroitin breakdown for better absorption in the joints.
-
Eggshell membrane - this novel ingredient is rich in joint-supporting nutrients. They stimulate cartilage regeneration, reduce inflammation, and increase joint flexibility.
-
High amounts of quality animal protein - protein is essential for maintaining and repairing lean muscle mass, which in turn helps support, protect, and stabilize joints.
