BioSpec Maximum G-C-M II Maximum Strength Joint Formula  Glucosamine/Chondroitin/Type ll Collagen/Hyaluronic Acid Maximum G-C-M II is a comprehensive joint support formula designed to promote cartilage health and joint function. As the primary structural component of skin, bones, and joints, collagen accounts for nearly 25% of all body proteins, though the type II variety is distributed primarily in joint cartilage. Type II collagen is known for its supportive role in joint health and function. As a member of the family of molecules known as glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acid is an important component of various connective tissues in the body, and is a major ingredient of the synovial fluid that lubricates and cushions joints. These ingredients may also inhibit many of the enzymes that break down the cartilage matrix while reducing joint pain and inflammation. Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate are well-documented ingredients occurring naturally in connective tissues, such as articular cartilage of synovial joints, and is believed to slow cartilage breakdown and support restoration.
