What is glucosamine?
Glucosamine is a natural compound found in healthy cartilage, extracted from shrimp shell. It plays a crucial part in maintaining the integrity of the cartilage and of all articulations in the body.

Matol Glucosamine (sulphate glucosamine), assimilable at 98%, is enhanced with Devil's Claw (botanical), Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) and collagen hydrolysate (fish). It can help replace and restore the proper balance of glucosamine in your body to ensure healthy connective tissue.
