Nutrients reinforcing the structure of cartilage
Having strong bones and healthy joints stands for unlimited mobility and quality of life at any age. The practice of physical activity and a balanced diet help maintain strength and flexibility of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, an adequate intake of specific nutrients is essential for the proper function of joints, especially if they are heavily stressed because of:
Overweight
Age-related cartilage degradation
Hard physical work
Congenital defect in joint alignment
Practice of competitive sports
Doppelherz® aktiv For Joints capsules contain a combination of 750 mg Glucosamine sulphate and 100 mg Chondroitin sulphate which help to keep the physiological balance in cartilages. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are building blocks used in the synthesis and the maintenance of the cartilage. This tissue is crucial for the mechanical properties of joints because it acts like an elastic cushion allowing smooth gliding of the bone heads against one another. Because of their important role in keeping joints healthy and functional, glucosamine and chondroitin also have symptom-modifying properties: on the long term, daily intake of 2 capsules For Joints from Doppelherz® aktiv leads to a decrease in osteoarthritis-associated pain.
