What is Cosamin® DS?
Cosamin DS is the #1 Brand Recommended by Orthopedic Specialists▲.

Cosamin DS is superior to all other brands and has been proven effective in published clinical studies.
How Cosamin DS works
The two main ingredients in Cosamin DS, FCHG49® glucosamine hydrochloride and TRH122® chondroitin sulfate, stimulate the production of cartilage. In younger, healthier individuals cartilage cells would normally accomplish this task. However, as one ages, cartilage cells die off and are not replaced. This starts a cycle of destruction in the cartilage. There are also enzymes present that degrade cartilage. Glucosamine hydrochloride stimulates cartilage production while chondroitin sulfate inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate has been shown in clinical trials to slow the progression of cartilage deterioration as well as reduce joint pain.
Cosamin DS is available at leading pharmacies nationwide (vitamin aisle) and online, in both an easy to swallow capsule and scored tablet (health food stores).
Cosamin® DS contains FCHG49® Glucosamine and TRH122® Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate, Nutramax Laboratories® exclusive proprietary researched specifications.
