Chondro-Pro is a nutritional glucosamine supplement developed to help protect cartilage and nourish joints. It can help increase flexibility and reduce pain from whiplash and auto accidents, and neck pain. If you have backaches, pain in the elbows, hands, or knees, Chondro-Pro glucosamine nutritional supplement can help reduce the pain and improve flexiblility. For sore, achy joints such as the knee due to a torn meniscus, or back problems and pain in the hands, nourishing cartilage with glucosamine nutritional supplements is important. MDR's Healthy-Joint Duo, which consists of Chondro-Pro nutritional supplement and Roll-On Relief analgesic gel, just may be the natural alternative you've been seeking for more flexibility and less pain in hands, elbows, knees, and back.

The Science Behind Chondro-Pro
The term for protecting and nourishing cartilage is chondro protection. Chondro comes from the biological term chondrocytes, which are the cells that make up your cartilage. Chondro-Pro does helps nourish cartilage or chondrocytes. It does this by providing your body with a specific blend of natural ingredients medical studies have shown to help support the healthy cartilage and synovial fluid (Between the bones is a joint cavity, which contains the synovium. The synovium produces synovial fluid, a thick fluid that lubricates and nourishes your joints, like oil lubricates parts of an engine).

Studies Confirm the Benefits of Glucosamine
Glucosamine is perhaps one of the most well studied ingredients in the field of chondro protection. Studies show that Glucosamine Sulfate acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cartilage from free radicals that erode joint cartilage.1 But Glucosamine plays another vitally important role in the repair and protection of cartilage.

Triggers Production of Cartilage Building Blocks
Glucosamine sulfate is a natural substance in your joints that stimulates production of certain compounds, such as Hyaluronic Acid, which is a building block of cartilage and synovial fluid.2,3 A tear, injury, poor diet, or the aging process can impair production of Glucosamine . But what researchers found is that when taken as a supplement, the body can absorb and use Glucosamine.

Shown in MRIs to Rebuild Cartilage!
One study in the Netherlands showed that according to MRI reports, supplementing with Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate for two years resulted in a reduction of early stage spinal disc degeneration. The researchers explained that these two nutrients are bioavailable to cartilage chondrocytes, and may have stimulated the production of building blocks of cartilage.4

The Showdown Between NSAIDS and Glucosamine…
Results of numerous trials have shown that Glucosamine benefits patients with OA, and that in some cases, may be equal or superior to ibuprofen (an NSAID) in managing symptoms. The studies showed that Glucosamine Sulfate provided pain relief, reduced tenderness, and improved mobility in patients with OA.5 In fact, some studies have shown that NSAIDS may impede the production of Hyaluronic Acid, which means that while NSAIDS provide temporary relief, they may actually accelerate cartilage degeneration.

Taking the Bite of out Pain!
Chondro-Pro contains Shark Cartilage, an excellent source of Hyaluronic Acid and Chondroiten Sulfate. Chondroiten Sulfate keeps cartilage hydrated and maintains its “resilient and spongy” properties, required for good shock absorption. Chondroiten Sulfate also helps inhibit enzymes from breaking down cartilage, one of the most important reasons for including Chondro-Pro in your plans to regain healthier joint function.

More Help in Fighting Cartilage Cartilage Breakdown
While most joint formulas provide glucosamine and/or chondroiten, they ignore the great benefits offered by Green Tea Extract, which according to studies, may be one of the most important ingredients in MDR Chondro-Pro.

It Does What Prescription Drugs Do, Only Naturally and Safely!
Researchers found Green Tea inhibits the body’s production of the cox-2 enzyme.6 Cox-2 is one of the villains responsible for osteoarthritis. In fact, one reason why prescription drugs are so effective is because they help slow up the body’s production of Cox-2. Green Tea and many of the well-known arthritis drugs work in similar ways, except, Green Tea does not adversely affect the heart like some arthritis drugs do. Also, the powerful antioxidant activity of Green Tea is healthy for the cardiovascular system and helps protect cartilage.

Why are antioxidants so important to cartilage health and integrity?
When oxygen enters your body, it gets metabolized and is stripped of an electron. Now it becomes a free radical. In search of a replacement electron, it steals one from cells such as chondrocytes, which damage them and their genetic material. The result? deterioration of cartilage. The good news is that antioxidants, which are found in fruits and vegetables, help neutralize free radicals. Unfortunately, many of us do not eat right, and as we grow older, our eating habits change for the worse and we become deficient in antioxidant-rich foods.

A Healthy Diet for Healthy Joints
Two things you can do to help protect your joints is to eat right and take supplements that are rich in antioxidants. One of the most powerful sources of antioxidants is Grape Seed Extract, which is included in the Chondro-Pro formula.

Special Vitamin C
There are also basic nutrients your body needs to maintain and build healthy connective tissue, such as Vitamin C. Chondro-Pro provides a special form of vitamin C called Ester C®, which is easy on the stomach and is water and fat-soluble. That means it stays in your body protecting cartilage for a longer period of time.

Why You Need Vitamin B6
There have been studies showing that low blood levels of B6 affect synovial fluid health, and may increase pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers now believe that low B6 levels are a result of inflammation, meaning that a joint condition may rob you of vitamin B6. Chondro-Pro supplies Vitamin B6.7

Strong Bones For Strong Joints
You’ll find there are other basic ingredients in Chondro-Pro, such as copper, calcium, boron, and manganese. Copper is used by the body to make cartilage and other tissues. Boron is for strong bones and helps the body to absorb calcium and magnesium, minerals important for healthy bones. Strong bones mean less of a burden on weight-bearing joints and cartilage.
