Chondroitin ZS Tablets 270 Tablets [Class 3 OTC Drug]

Product Information

Pain is a warning signal to the body and an important physiological phenomenon, but if left untreated, the unpleasant symptoms continue and interfere with daily life. In particular, joint pain and lower back pain tend to occur with aging, and improving such symptoms is important for living a healthy life.
Chondroitin sulfate is a substance found throughout the body, present in especially large amounts in articular cartilage, blood vessels, the cornea, etc., and has functions such as maintaining the body's elasticity, acting as a physical cushion, and retaining water. It is also involved in cellular metabolism (taking in nutrients and excreting waste products).

[For people such as the following]
People who find going up and down stairs painful, who find standing up and sitting down hard, who feel pain when cold, whose lower back feels heavy when tired, who have hurt their lower back lifting heavy objects, who cannot raise their shoulders or feel them catch, and who have trouble recovering from fatigue.
People who get joint pain or neuralgia at the change of seasons, who say their hearing has recently become poor, and who are in noisy environments.
