Mukosat

width = Mukosat - a domestic medicinal product (active substance - chondroitin sulfate) is a regulator metabolic processes in the cartilaginous tissue and is used in the treatment of degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine and joints.

These diseases, in view of their constantly progressive nature, constitute the most acute problem of modern medicine. The drug slows down the degenerative processes and contributes to the restoration of cartilaginous tissue, providing an analgesic effect along with chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory.

Actively included in the metabolic processes, chondroitin sulfate mukosata replaces the articular chondroitin sulfate, by this time already experienced all the "charms" occurring in cartilage of degenerative processes, inhibits the activity of harmful enzymes, prevents the release of free oxygen radicals, has a beneficial effect on phosphorus-calcium metabolism.

Stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycans, normalizes the metabolism of hyaline cartilage, promotes the regeneration of cartilaginous surfaces and the articular bag.

Anna. Mucosate is very helpful for me when osteochondrosis is started. Now practically does not hurt anything. Well, I, of course, also observe a diet, and I constantly do all the strengthening exercises. But obvious relief comes exactly after the course of this drug. Well, it's clear, this is a full-fledged drug, sold by prescription, and not just some kind of bioadditive.
