The joints are made up of many elements, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and cartilage that must be kept nourished and healthy. Healthy joints and cartilage are what help us move easily. Solgar® Glucosamine Hydrochloride 1000 mg provides this nutrient not from crustaceans. The cartilage, which is located at the ends of the bones, is a flexible and resistant support material that can withstand a high compression load, often many times our own weight. Glucosamine is naturally present in bones and cartilage and is considered one of the important components of joints and cartilage. Solgar® Glucosamine Hydrochloride 1000 mg comes in a dose of 1 tablet per day.
