It engages in the creation of nails, tendons, skin, eyes, bones, ligaments and heart valves. New cartilages and repaired ones have been seen as the result of glucosomine in the diet.
Chrondroitin is responsible for the resiliency of the cartilage, lubricates the joints and maintains the health of the cartilage.
