Kordel’s Chrondroitin 400 |
Kordel’s Chrondroitin 400 Chondroitin is a substance that occurs naturally in the body. It is part of a large protein molecule known as a proteoglycan, and its role is to provide elasticity to bone cartilage. The cartilage matrix, or cushion between joints, is made of proteoglycans, which consist in large part of chrondroitin sulfate. Chrondroitin works by holding water and nutrients in cartilage and giving it structure. This is an important property, since cartilage has no blood supply. Additionally, chondroitin inhibits the destructive action of certain enzymes which naturally degenerate the cartilage, interferes with other natural enzymes which tend to impede the transport of nutrients to cartilage, stimulates the production of cartilage matrix molecules and enhances synergistically the action of the glucosamines.
What is it for?
- Increase holding water and nutrients in joint
- Enhance the elastic properties of cartilage
- Relief pain of osteoarthritis joints
- Anti-inflammatory
Dosage
- Take 1 capsule 3 times daily, 15 minutes before meal.

LECITHIN is a naturally occurring mixture of phospholipids found in all animals and human cells and is important for many body functions. Lecithin is a natural source of choline, a B vitamin which is essential for proper heart, brain and liver function.
Studies have proved the ability of lecithin to reduce blood cholesterol levels, therefore, promoting heart health. Lecithin acts as an emulsifier, breaking down cholesterol into smaller particles, hence, prevents clogging of blood vessels. Lecithin is also a key component in the metabolism and transport of fat. Without adequate lecithin, fat and cholesterol build up in liver tissues leading to abnormal liver function. In the brain, lecithin is involved in the production of chemical messenger which is vital for brain function.
LECITHIN GRANULES is the ideal alternative for vegetarians who cannot consume gelatin in capsule. It also provides a higher strength of phosphatidylcholine. Two tablespoons of LECITHIN GRANULES is equivalent to 20 capsules of LECITHIN 1200MG.
What is it for?
-
Heart health – reduce cholesterol
-
Liver health – maintain proper fat metabolism & distribution
-
Mental health – improve learning and memory
