Provided is a synergistic combination of nutritional supplements classified as Nutraceuticals and further combined with antioxidant vitamins and minerals that, when orally administered to mammals, provides optimal delivery of vital metabolic precursors necessary for the production and repair of articular cartilage. Specifically provided is, a unique combination of chondroitin sulfate sodium, methylsulfonylmethane, glucosamine potassium, glucosamine hydrochloride, glucosamine sulfate sodium, N-acetyl D-Glucosamine, sodium absorbate and chelated manganese proteinate compounded through agitation. The provided compositions and methods of administration are designed to effectively elevate and sustain blood levels of said compounds in turn enhancing the body's natural chondroprotective mechanisms while providing an efficient delivery mechanism which optimizes cellular uptake of glucosamine and chondroitin. This process of forming specified synergistic relationships between vital metabolic precursors increases the body's production of proteoglycans, chondrocytes, hyalauron glycosaminoglycans and collagen, facilitating the repair and regeneration of articular cartilage and symptomatic relief from pain and inflammation associated with articular degeneration.
