Cosequin contains Glucosamine HCL - In addition to being the main substrate for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid, the primary function of glucosamine is to stimulate the secretion of glycosaminoglycans in the articular cartilage.
Cosequin contains Chondroitin Sulfate - In addition to being the major glycosaminoglycans found in cartilage, its primary function is to inhibit degradative enzymes. Degradative enzymes contribute to cartilage breakdown.
Cosequin contains Manganese - A necessary cofactor in the body for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans.
Cosequin contains Ascorbate - It is a necessary cofactor in the body for collagen biosynthesis.
