Chondroitin sulfate FOR YOUR PET'S JOINT HEALTH Joint cartilage is made up of 60/80% water, 8% glycosaminoglycans, which are responsible for maintaining the properties of cartilage, 2% chondrocytes and collagen. Chondroitin sulfate is a natural glycosaminoglycan found in cartilage that, when administered orally, protects against osteoarthritis. The mechanisms of action of chondroitin sulfate include: •Protective effect for cells (stabilizes membranes) and the components of cartilage. •Increases Proteoglycan and Hyaluronic Acid synthesis. •Blocks metalloprotease activity (chondrocytes). •Inhibition of NO: decreases apoptosis.
