Glucosamine Plus Extra Strength

Glucosamine Plus Extra Strength capsules contain a combination of high-dose glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate is an important precursor for the synthesis and maintenance of connective tissues. Chondroitin sulfate also supports formation of connective tissues. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar found ubiquitously in glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans. Glycosaminoglycans, formerly named mucopolysaccharides, are an integral component of all connective tissues.Connective tissue, a fibrous type of body tissue, has various functions. It supports and connects internal organs (ligaments), forms bone, cartilage, and the walls of blood vessels, attaches muscles to bones (tendons), and replaces tissues that have been damaged following injury.

Proteoglycans are large carbohydrate-rich structures, re
