Vetri-Disc is a unique formulation designed exclusively to support connectivetissues associated with the spine. Vetri-Disc combines bovine trachealcartilage with mineral sulfates, amino acids, vitamins, pepsin, and naturalsources of silicon, which are all necessary for the support and maintenance ofconnective tissue. About the formula: Bovine Tracheal Cartilage is rich inChondroitin Sulfates which make up the matrix of connective tissue and arefound in high concentration in the tissue of the spine and intervertebraldiscs. Manganese is necessary for the activation of enzymes that are vital forthe biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans. Provides Equisetum arvense a naturalsource of silicon which is necessary for the synthesis and integrity ofconnective tissue. Vitamin C (Calcium Ascorbate and Ascorbic Acid) supportscollagen production and glycosaminoglycan metabolism. Calcium is essential forproper growth and maintenance of bone. Pyridoxine HCI (Vitamin B6) isnecessary for the formation of certain proteins and aids in nerve function.Vitamin D aids in the absorption of Calcium from the intestinal tract and inthe breakdown and assimilation of phosphorous. Magnesium (Sulfate, Oxide)helps aid bone growth and the assimilation of calcium and potassium. Magnesiumalso plays an important role in neuromuscular contractions (relaxes themuscles). Zinc (Sulfate) is necessary for tissue respiration and is importantin the healing process. Taurine is a sulfur containing amino acid involved inthe synthesis of connective tissue. Serine is an amino acid which links theglycosaminoglycans structure to the protein portion of connective tissue.
