Pharmacodynamics

Pharmacological properties

AMBENE® is a bio-chondroprotector, the active component of which is a bioactive extract from small marine fish. The extract contains mucopolysaccharides (chondroitin sulfate), amino acids, peptides, ions of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc.

AMBENE® Bio prevents the destruction of macromolecular structures of normal tissues, stimulates the recovery processes in interstitial tissue and articular cartilage tissue, which explains its analgesic effect. The anti-inflammatory effect and tissue regeneration are based on inhibition of hyaluronidase activity and normalization of hyaluronic acid biosynthesis. Both of these effects are synergistic and cause the activation of regenerative processes in tissues (in particular, the restoration of cartilage structure).

Indications
