The medicine "Teraflex Advance" belongs to the category of medicines that help stimulate the process of regeneration of cartilage tissue. The tool also has an anti-inflammatory effect. Active ingredients: glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates, ibuprofen. The first two substances enhance the effect of the latter. Chondroitin sulfate is an additional substrate for the formation of a healthy cartilage matrix.

Glucosamine sulfate activates the synthesis of chondroitin sulfuric and hyaluronic acids, proteoglycans, and other compounds present in the membranes of joints, cartilage, and intraarticular fluid.
