WhyAgel.com was one of the first Agel Team Member websites online. We have been amazed at the world-wide growth of Agel and the many new friends and business partners we have met. Agel is truly a global business and the Internet is the ideal way to communicate with people everywhere.
Welcome to WhyAgel.com your resource for Agel information.
Chondroitin
Chondroitin is extracted from shark or bovine cartilage. It is one of the major building blocks used in the formation and
repair of the cartilage matrix. Cartilage is the tough, flexible connective tissue that serves as the cushion for the joints and is also found in other parts of the body such as the tip of the nose and outer ears. One of chondroitin’s primary functions as one of the key components in the cartilage matrix is to attract water to the other larger macromolecules within the matrix, thus keeping it soft and flexible. As such, it helps provide the cushion necessary to prevent bone-to-bone contact, especially in the weight bearing joints such as the knees and hips. In addition, the body uses
chondroitin to prevent certain enzymes from breaking down the existing cartilage, thus providing a protective effect. The optimum daily dose is 1200 mg (contained in Agel FLX).
Glucosamine + Chondroitin
Glucosamine is produced from crab, lobster and shrimp shells. It is classified as an amino sugar. Unlike other forms of sugar found in the body, this form is incorporated into the structure of body tissues, rather than being used for energy. In fact, the body uses glucosamine to
build your fingernails and toenails, tendons, skin, eyes, bones, ligaments and even your heart valves. But, in particular, it is found in high concentrations in your joint tissues and more specifically the cartilage matrix. Glucosamine is one of the components used in the production of Chondroitin, and in fact, it stimulates the body to produce more of this important
building block for joint cartilage. As we age, our bodies decrease the natural production of Glucosamine therefore
supplementation of this important joint structural component is important. The optimal daily dose is 1500 mg (contained in Agel FLX).
In multiple clinical trials,
Glucosamine and Chondroitin have been found to work synergistically to help reduce joint degeneration and may in fact help to
stimulate the regeneration of damaged cartilage.
+ MSM (MethylSulfonylMethane)
MSM (MethylSulfonylMethane) is a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound found in many plant and animal tissues. Sulfur is an essential component of
healthy hair, skin, nails, tendons, and joints. It has also been found to help
detoxify the body on a cellular level, in addition to
relieving pain and inflammation. MSM provides the essential sulfur that is necessary to build strong collagen and therefore
strong and healthy cartilage by strengthening the sulfur bonds between the collagen strands. Although MSM is found in many of the foods that we eat,
processing and cooking easily destroy it. As a result, MSM is probably not present in significant quantities in the majority of foods that we eat. Most people would probably
benefit from supplementation of this crucial element for optimal health.
