Chondroitin NSP
Chondroitin NSP sulfate is a sulfated derivative of glucosaminoglycans (proteoglycans), which form the basis of connective, cartilage and bone tissue. It is a structural component of cartilage, is produced by the cartilage of the joints and is part of the synovial fluid. An essential component of chondroitin sulfate is glucosamine, the lack of which, as part of the synovial fluid can cause a crunch in the joints. A special feature of chondroitin among proteoglycans is its ability to retain water in the composition of cartilage. Sulfate initiates the process of sulfur fixation during the synthesis of chondroitinous acid, which in turn contributes to the deposition of calcium in the bones. Stimulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, strengthening the connective tissue structures of cartilage, tendons, ligaments, skin and inhibits the action of enzymes that destroy connective tissue, including lysosomal enzymes released by the destruction of chondrocytes (elastase, peptidase, cathepsin). It has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, promotes active regeneration of cartilage, reduces pain in the joints and spine at rest and while walking. Regular use of chondroitin reduces, and sometimes completely eliminates the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Indications for use are: degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the joints and spine, primary arthritis, intervertebral osteochondrosis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, fractures. When taking chondroitin sulfate blocks the activity of pancreatic lipase and slows the absorption of fat in the intestine. With long-term use reduces hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia and body weight.
Chondroitin sulfate and other chondroprotectors are found in large quantities in the tendons, skin and cartilage of animal products. However, in food they are mainly in the form of polymers, which are not digested by intestinal enzymes, but are hydrolyzed by enzymes of intestinal bacteria to form short-chain fatty acids. Therefore, dietary supplements contain low molecular weight fractions of chondroitin sulfate, derived mainly from salmon cartilage, which are almost completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, preserving their structure, and can be included in the metabolism of cartilage. For therapeutic purposes, it is recommended to take 500-1500 mg of chondroitin per day, in two or three doses. The standard daily dose is 400 mg. The exact dosage depends on the weight of the patient and the severity of the disease. The time of effect is usually noted in 2-8 weeks from the start of admission. Long-term and sustained result from the use of chondroitin sulfate can be obtained after at least 2-3 months. To enhance the effect it is recommended to combine the reception of Chondroitin with drugs Glucosamine, Omega-3, Calcium, Magnesium Complex, Osteo Plus. Contraindications to admission are clotting disorders, thrombophlebitis, allergies.
