Nature's Sunshine Glucosamine helps to support healthy joints and cartilage production and with the additional of Cat's Claw, this can help with discomfort and increased efficacy.
Glucosamine occurs naturally in the body to support the production of connective tissue - the primary ingredient which makes up cartilage - in the joints.
In some people, production of Glucosamine slows with age, leaving cartilage unable to retain water and function as a shock absorber.
This inability to create Glucosamine is considered a major factor in the development of osteoporosis.
The benefits from taking Glucosamine are reported to be cumulative, providing greater results the longer taken.

Per 2 capsules
Glucosamine hydrochloride 800 mg
Cat's Claw Inner Bark (Uncaria tomentosa) 100 mg
Glucosamine combines glucosamine hydrochloride with Cat's Claw inner bark. Glucosamine is the main joint ingredient here and is commonly used for cartilage and connective tissue support. Cat's Claw is a herb more often used for immune and inflammation related support, so it adds a herbal comfort angle rather than simply increasing the glucosamine dose.
That makes the product a little different from a plain glucosamine capsule. You are still buying it mainly for glucosamine, but the added Cat's Claw may appeal if you want some herbal support for day to day comfort as well. Because the formula is still fairly simple, it stays easy to understand before buying.
