The Active Ingredients are:
- CHONDROITIN SULFATE (300 mg) - This ingredient, from shark cartilage, is one of the main components of cartilage and mucosa layers, forming the connective tissue that holds muscles, nerves and blood vessels together. As such, it is a major component of the protective glycosaminoglycan layers of the bladder.
- GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE (280 mg) - A building block to joint cartilage as well as bladder, prostate and GI protective glycosaminoglycan layers. Made from shellfish chitin it also has some mild anti-inflammatory properties.
- QUERCETIN (260 mg) - Extracted from the saphora plant, this compound is a non-acidic natural flavonoid. It inhibits the activation of mast cells and other inflammatory cells reducing the discomfort associated with inflammation.
- RUTIN (40 mg) - Also extracted from the saphora plant, it is also a natural bioflavonoid with anti-inflammatory properties that helps to liberate quercetin in the intestine, making absorption easier.
- SODIUM HYALURONATE (20 mg) This compound, extracted from chicken combs, is an important component of protective connective tissues, including the lining of the bladder, and is essential in rebuilding that layer.
- OLIVE KERNEL EXTRACT - A potent anti-oxidant that helps repair damaged tissues. Purchased from the island of Crete, this unprocessed extract of low acidity helps the body absorb the other components.
