Indications for use of Arthrocin

Age-related changes in the human body most often affect those organs and tissues that are renewed the most, and therefore wear out faster. Such tissues that are subject to heavy loads include cartilage tissue. This tissue is part of the joints and bears a very heavy load, especially in the knee joints and joints of the spine. It is in these joints that degenerative processes are most observed over time, which is manifested by stiffness of movement and the appearance of pain. To restore cartilage tissue, it is necessary to use drugs that will stimulate its growth.

Such a drug is Arthrocin.

Cartilage tissue consists of chondroitin and glycosamine. These substances give cartilage elasticity, firmness, and resistance to damage. With age, the amount of these components in cartilage tissue decreases significantly, and it loses its properties. Arthrocin helps increase chondroitin, which restores the elasticity of cartilage tissue. Joint mobility improves, swelling decreases, and inflammation decreases.
