Chondroitin Sulfate B (CSB)- Chondroitin Sulfates present in the human body are some of the common mucopolysnccharides, bound to collagen. They serve as constituents of the connective tissue’s fundamental substance. It is considered effective for the treatment of joint pain. It not only enhances the mobility of joints but also reduces the dose of conventional anti-inflammatory drugs. Chondroitin Sulfate B (CSB) is abundant in the skin and it is also known as dermatan sulfate. Its inhibitory effects are exerted on secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine (SLC) through binding with C-terminus of SLC. Besides being found in the skin, Chondroitin Sulfate B (CSB) is also found in blood vessels, pulmonary connective tissues, tendons and heart valves. Till date, no serious side effects have been reported as far as chondroitin sulfate B (CSB) is concerned.

Copper Gluconate is the copper salt of D-gluconic acid. Its chemical formula is C12H22CuO14 and Mol. mass is 453.8. Copper gluconate is used in medicine for treatment of common cold, acne vulgaris, hypertension, premature labor, Leishmaniasis and visceral postoperative complications. It is also an active ingredient in Retsyn. It is used as a dietary supplement to metabolize copper to treat copper deficiency.

It also fights free radical damages including cataracts, heart diseases, and cancer. Curcumin also proved to be effective in lowering cholesterol level. Research showed that the curcumin inhibits the production of lipozygenase and cyclooxygenase-2, enzymes that promotes inflammation in the body such as arthritis. It also prevents the growth of Helicobacter pylori which causes gastric ulcers and is linked with gastric cancers. Curcumin also protects the brain. Curcumin is a natural detoxifier, protecting the liver from the effects of alcohol and other toxic chemicals.

Glucosamine is derived from chitin found in shells of crabs, shrimp, and oysters. There is sufficient scientific evidence to prove that glucosamine sulfate is both safe and effective for treating mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee. Research also indicates analgesic and disease-modifying effects of glucosamine sulfate. However, this does not imply that side effects of glucosamine sulfate do not exist. Short term use of glucosamine sulfate may lead to minor side effects such as insomnia, headache, drowsiness, heartburn, constipation, vomiting, and diarrhea and in rare cases, increase in blood pressure and heart rate and palpitations. People with bleeding disorders should not take glucosamine supplements without consulting their physician. These supplements should also be avoided by those allergic to shellfish, which happens to be the primary source of glucosamine.

Quercetin is a flavanoid derived from plants and is widely used as a nutritional supplement. There are many studies which are being conducted to exactly determine the benefits of Quercetin. It is said to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and hence is being tested to help curb and cure terminal diseases like cancer. The high intake of fruits and vegetables is good for cancer treatments. Many researchers believe that these qualities of Quercetin are what allow it to be used for treating cancer as well.

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, which is naturally found in foods such as fish, milk and milk products, eggs, meat and poultry. Vitamin B12 is important for good health, necessary for the proper digestion and absorption of foods and for normal metabolism of carbohydrates, and fat. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells and is needed to make DNA. Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in food. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases B12 from protein during digestion. Unlike other water-soluble nutrients, vitamin B12 is stored in the liver, kidney, and other body tissues. It can take several years before signs of the deficiency appear due to poor dietary intake. Vitamin B12 functions as a "methyl donor." A methyl donor is a compound that carries and donates methyl groups to other molecules, including cell membrane components and neurotransmitters. As a methyl donor vitamin B12 is involved in homocysteine metabolism and plays a critical role in proper energy metabolism, immune function, and nerve function. Therefore, vitamin B12 is clearly an added benefit for anyone wanting to lose weight, as without it, metabolism is not at its peak potential.
