Cortaflex & Sports injuries

Sports injuries can be helped by a treatment regime which aims to relieve the symptoms of pain and discomfort, prevent further degradation and restore as much joint function as possible.

The current focus of interest are substances capable of slowing the process of cartilage degradation and promotion of cartilage matrix synthesis.

These compounds have been termed “chondoprotective agents” and sulphated glycosaminoglycans such as Chondroitin Sulphate are found in the matrix of cartilage and have been shown to achieve some of the above objectives.

Cortaflex contains super oxide dismutase in addition to monosaccharide precursors of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid which are found in the synovial fluid, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. There is strong evidence that these are extremely valuable in the management of arthritis and joint mobility and may also be of benefit in the repair phase of athletic and sports injuries to muscuolskeletal soft tissues such as tendons, lligaments and cartilage.
