Articol is indicated as a nutritious supplement in the treatment of all problems that affect the osteoarticular apparatus, in the structural and functional alterations of the connective tissue, or following inflammatory episodes of a different nature.
Take 1 tablet a day, preferably with meals. However, it appears that this is a maintenance dosage, and that the most effective dose is 3 compresses per day.
Articol contains naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin, and sodium hyaluronate (the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid).
These ingredients are effective nutrients to tackle osteoarticular inflammation and to facilitate the regeneration of cartilaginous tissues and articular functions.
They also are essential ingredients to improve connective tissue resistance and efficiency.
Glucosamine, a naturally occurring monosaccharide in our organism, is an essential component of the mucopolysaccharides and glycoproteins that form the connective tissue.
Its main function is that of stimulating the cartilaginous tissues’ trophism, as they are necessary to protect the articulations and keep them in perfect efficiency.
The extract of shark cartilage is naturally rich in calcium, phosphorus, proteins and complex carbohydrates among which chondroitin stands out in the form of sulfate, the ideal complement of glucosamine.
Sodium hyaluronate (derived from hyaluronic acid) is one of the essential components of proteoglycans, capable of giving resistance and flexibility to the connective tissue and hydrating and toning the skin.
Its deficiency weakens the skin, facilitates the appearance of wrinkles and imperfections; its concentration in the tissues reduces with age.
Dietary supplementation of these nutrients facilitates cartilaginous tissue renovation and simultaneously prevents damaging the pre-existing ones.
