The actives
- Glucosamine Sulfate 2KCl — 1,000 mg
- The most-studied joint building block — a foundational component of the cartilage and connective tissue your joints rely on every day.*
- Shark Cartilage Powder — 500 mg
- A natural source of glycosaminoglycans and chondroitin that arrive already in cartilage form — an ingredient most joint formulas leave out.*
- Hyaluronic Acid (as Sodium Hyaluronate) — 3 mg
- A vital component of synovial fluid. A single molecule can hold up to a thousand times its weight in water, supporting joint lubrication and skin hydration alike.*
- Antioxidant blend — Green Tea, Grape Seed & Turmeric (Curcumin) — 30 mg each
- Standardized polyphenols from green tea, grape seed proanthocyanidins, and turmeric-derived curcuminoids support the body's defenses against everyday oxidative stress.*
- Extramel® S.O.D. (Superoxide Dismutase) — 1 mg
- An enzyme-based antioxidant complex — derived from a long-lived melon extract — that supports the body's own oxidative-stress defenses.*
- FruiteX-B® (Calcium Fructoborate / Boron) — 1.5 mg
- A patented form of boron studied for joint-comfort and bone-strength support, working alongside the formula's calcium and trace minerals.*
- Supporting vitamins & minerals — Vitamin C 60 mg · Vitamin B6 2 mg · Calcium 30 mg · Copper 0.75 mg · Manganese 0.75 mg
- Cofactors that round out the formula — manganese supports the body's own S.O.D. production and is essential for cartilage, while Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation.*
- Peppermint Leaf Powder (Mentha Piperita) — 3 mg
- A botanical finishing touch traditionally used to support digestive comfort and absorption.*
Why it’s built this way
Your joints move on living cartilage — cushion built and maintained by cells called chondrocytes that draw on a small set of building blocks every day. Medical Doctors Research® built Chondro-Pro to feed them directly, and went a step most joint formulas skip: alongside 1,000 mg of Glucosamine Sulfate, every serving carries 500 mg of Shark Cartilage, a natural source of chondroitin and glycosaminoglycans already in cartilage form. It's the ingredient you won't find in a typical glucosamine pill — and the reason this formula does more than the building block everyone else stops at.
From there the formula layers in support: Hyaluronic Acid, the same molecule that gives synovial fluid its cushion and helps skin hold moisture, plus a four-part antioxidant team — standardized Green Tea and Grape Seed extracts, Turmeric curcuminoids, and Extramel® S.O.D. from a long-lived French melon — for everyday defense against oxidative stress. Trace minerals finish it: manganese the body uses to make its own S.O.D., and patented FruiteX-B® calcium fructoborate for joint-comfort support. Every amount is printed on the panel, never hidden in a proprietary blend.
