Product Overview
Alflutop is a chondroprotector, the active component of which is a bioactive concentrate from small sea fish. The concentrate contains mucopolysaccharides (chondroitin sulfate), amino acids, peptides, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc ions.
Alflutop prevents the destruction of macromolecular structures of normal tissues, stimulates recovery processes in interstitial tissue and articular cartilage tissue, which explains its analgesic effect.
The anti-inflammatory effect and tissue regeneration are based on the inhibition of the activity of hyaluronidase and the normalization of the biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid.
Both of these effects are synergistic and cause the activation of regenerative processes in tissues (in particular, restoration of the cartilage structure).
