Sodium hyaluronate acts as a lubricant in the joints and prevents friction between them. Vitamin C helps in synthesising new collagen fibres, new blood vessel formation and promotes healing. Rosehip Extract helps prevent joint damage and eases joint inflammation. Together, Cartivel Tablet 10's helps treat joint pain.
