Cosamin's most advanced formula to help support and promote joint comfort Contains GCHG49 Glucosamine Hydrochloride, TRH122 Chondroitin Sulfate and NMX1000 Avocado/Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASU) The combination of actives as found in Cosamin ASU has been shown in laboratory cell culture studies to work better than the original glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate combination What is ASU and how does it work? ASU (avocado/soybean unsaponifiables) is derived from avocados and soybeans. A potent ingredient demonstrated to protect cartilage which leads to improved joint function, ASU complements the effects of the other ingredients. While working through their own primary mechanisms of action, ASU, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate together deliver comprehensive joint health support. Our trademarked glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, and avocado/soybean unsaponifiables together were shown in cell studies to be better than the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate at inhibiting expression of several agents involved in cartilage breakdown. Frequently Asked Questions What is joint cartilage? Joints are the junction between two or more bones. The ends of the bones are covered with cartilage which serves as a smooth, resilient cushion that allows the joint to move freely. Joints also have a synovial tissue lining that encloses them and secretes a lubricating fluid. The stability of the joint is supported by ligaments that connect bones to bones; and tendons that connect the ends of muscles to bone. Cartilage in the joint is produced and maintained by its own specialized cells. When you do even the simplest of everyday activities, there is tremendous pressure on your joints. The protective cartilage cushion and joint fluid work together like a shock absorber to allow for proper joint flexibility. Why does cartilage break down? There are many factors that lead to cartilage breakdown: Age Excess weight Inactivity or over activity Injury Genetics Cartilage lacks a direct blood supply. It relies on nutrients found in the joint fluid to nourish cartilage cells and maintain its structure. When this process is affected by one or more of the factors mentioned above, cartilage can break down to the point where it can no longer work efficiently. How do I take Cosamin ASU? Maintenance: Once desired effect is noticed, you may gradually reduce the number of capsules to maintain comfort level. Some individuals may respond sooner than others depending on the status of their cartilage and joint health. Once response has been seen, the number of capsules per day may be decreased to maintain comfort level. Some individuals on this lower level may wish to go back to four capsules a day during the weekends or times of increased activity. The maintenance level can also be used long-term to help maintain healthy joints. At any time, the number of capsules may be increased back to four capsules per day.
