Gel cream with aloe vera, glucosamine and chondroitin that contributes to the health of bones, joints and cartilage. Using certified Aloe (50mg aloe vera barbadensis powder, 200:1 concentration), Optima has added high-strength glucosamine, chondroitin, vitamins and minerals to create a unique formula that helps maintain healthy joints, bones, tendons and ligaments. Glucosamine contributes to the mobility and flexibility of cartilage, ligaments and tendons, while reducing pain by decreasing inflammation in these areas. Chondroitin helps maintain the lubricating properties of joint fluids and inhibits the action of enzymes that break down cartilage, contributing to the mobility, elasticity and flexibility of the joints. In addition, it is a powerful anti-inflammatory and thus reduces joint pain.
