The Glucosa 500mg Tablet contains Glucosamine, which stimulates the formation and repair of the cartilage (the hard connective tissue that protects and covers the ends of long bones at the joints). It lubricates the joints and improves flexibility and movement. Thus, it reduces pain and swelling in the joints.
