Composition

Cartigen capsule is a dietary supplement used for the management of joint-related conditions like osteoarthritis. It is specifically formulated to support joint health and reduce symptoms associated with cartilage degeneration (cartilage inside a joint wears down over time).

In osteoarthritis, cartilage breakdown occurs and leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced joint mobility. By providing essential nutrients, Cartigen capsule aims to enhance joint function and reduce discomfort by increasing the cartilage and fluid around the joints and helping to prevent their breakdown.

Use Cartigen capsule as directed by a doctor. It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines that you are currently taking and about your complete medical history before starting the capsule.
