Medicinal Benefits

Jovit Tablet has anti-inflammatory (reduces pain and inflammation) properties and slow deterioration of cartilage (joints)  and pain, swelling, and other symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. This combined medicine also has cartilage-protecting effects and helps to maintain cartilage structure. The Jovit Tablet compromises two medicines, namely Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate is a natural protein found in the body used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Taking Jovit Tablet may either enhance the cartilage and fluid surrounding joints or prevent both components' breakdown. At the same time, Chondroitin restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage or causing osteoarthritis. It also provides elasticity by helping cartilage to retain water. In combination, both help form cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility. Jovit Tablet relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and helping individuals restore their quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints, relieves pain and easily does physical activity.
