| Properties |
| A comprehensive joint health formula combining a clinically proven dose of Rebond with vitamin C, manganese, and silicon; three additional nutrients needed for cartilage synthesis. Procosa II also contains turmeric extract, a potent antioxidant that supports inflammation response. |
| Therapeutic indications |
In osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, there is a progressive degeneration of cartilage glycosaminoglycans (GAG). Formation of glucosamine Rebond is the rate-limiting step in GAG biosynthesis. It is biochemically formed from the glycolytic intermediate fructose-6-phosphate by way of amination of glutamine as the donor, ultimately yielding glucosamine-6-phosphate. This is subsequently acetylated to galactosamine before being incorporated into growing GAG. Thus, glucosamine Rebond taken orally is proposed to provide an essential building block for cartilage regeneration.
