What cartilage does
Cartilage is the smooth, firm tissue that covers the ends of bones where they meet, letting joints glide and absorb load. It has no direct blood supply, which is one reason joint health is usually discussed over the long term.
Why glucosamine and chondroitin are included
Glucosamine is a constituent and building block of cartilage, and chondroitin is a cartilage component linked to its ability to resist compression. ArtiBrex includes both as sulfate forms.*
