Medicinal Benefits of Lubrijoint 750 Tablet

GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE is used to treat mild to moderate osteoarthritis. GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE contains Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride, a chondroprotective (chondros meaning cartilage) agent. GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE thus works by contributing to the production of bone-protecting cartilage. It stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycan- a very essential material for cartilage production. In addition, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE exerts anti-inflammatory action and slows down cartilage destruction. Thus, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE is responsible for relieving the joints of swelling. By producing cartilage, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE cushions bones and joints and provides pain relief.
