Cosamin ASU is an advanced
proprietary formulation that combines NMX1000
avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU) with Cosamin's FCHG49
glucosamine and pharmaceutical-grade TRH122 sodium
chondroitin sulfate.
For over a decade, Cosamin
DS has served as the premium joint health supplement on the market. By
combining the exclusive ingredients found in Cosamin DS with ASU,
Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. has made the best even better.
Cosamin ASU is a dual synergistic
formula: its specific combination of glucosamine and sodium chondroitin
sulfate have demonstrated synergy in stimulating cartilage production,
while ASU also acts synergistically with glucosamine.
What is ASU and how does it work?
ASU (avocado/soybean unsaponifiables)
is derived from avocados and soybeans. A potent ingredient demonstrated
to protect cartilage which leads to improved joint function, ASU
complements the effects of the other ingredients. While working through
their own primary mechanisms of action, ASU, glucosamine and chondroitin
sulfate together deliver comprehensive joint health support. Our
trademarked glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, and
avocado/soybean unsaponifiables together were shown in cell studies to
be better than the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate at
inhibiting expression of several agents involved in cartilage breakdown.
Active
Ingredients:
ASU Avocado/Soybean Unsaponifiables
Reduces the expression of inflammatory
markers that are associated with joint discomfort and the process of
cartilage breakdown in the joints.
Glucosamine
A building block molecule produced by
the body for the production of a variety of structures essential to
joint health.
Chondroitin Sulfate
Inhibits enzymes responsible for the
breakdown of cartilage and stimulates cartilage cells to increase the
production of cartilage components necessary for the maintenance of
healthy joints.
Shown to Work Better
In laboratory cell culture
studies of inflammatory markers associated with joint discomfort
and cartilage breakdown it was found that the combination of ASU
(avocado/soybean unsaponifiables) + glucosamine + chondroitin
sulfate was BETTER than the combination of glucosamine +
chondroitin sulfate in reducing these markers.
