Abstract
An oral and injectable composition for mammals comprising a salt of glucosamine, such as glucosamine hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, or iodide, a chondroitin sulfate, hydrolyzed or native collagen, a sodium hyaluronate, chelated manganese ascorbate, and L-malic acid in powder form for oral ingestion or in a solution of sterilized water for injection. The composition acts as a chondroprotective agent which provides foundational support for the creation of new body tissue and cartilage growth in humans and animals. Other beneficial physiological properties include the enhancement of chondrocyte synthesis, the healing of chronic or acute wounds, the maintenance of healthy muscle and tissue, increasing the desirable concentration of hyaluronic acid, and anti-inflammatory activity.
