Natural Knee Cartilage Support With Metagenics: How ChondroCare + Glucosamine Sulfate 750 Help You Heal

Knee pain can be life-changing—affecting how you walk, squat, exercise, play with your kids, or simply get up from a chair. At Focus Chiropractic, we see knee issues daily—from overuse injuries and sports strain to postpartum instability and age-related degeneration.

The good news?

Your body can rebuild cartilage, especially when it has the right building blocks and the right movement guidance.

Two of the most researched nutrients for supporting joint repair are glucosamine and chondroitin, and we trust Metagenics for the highest-quality, clinically-tested formulas.

Today we’re breaking down exactly how they work, why we use Metagenics, and the simple protocol we recommend for rebuilding knee cartilage.

Why Cartilage Breaks Down

Knee cartilage naturally wears with age, repetitive strain, inflammation, and injury. Once the tissue becomes thin, rough, or uneven, people start to experience:

  • Achy, stiff, or grinding knees

  • Clicking or popping

  • Swelling

  • Pain with stairs, squatting, or long walks

  • Slower recovery after exercise

Chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release, and knee-tracking support help restore mechanics, but your cells also need the raw materials to rebuild tissue.

That’s where the right supplements make a difference.


How Glucosamine + Chondroitin Work Together

Glucosamine Sulfate

Glucosamine is a natural compound found in healthy cartilage. It:

  • Helps your body rebuild cartilage tissue

  • Supports synovial fluid production (your natural joint lubrication)

  • Reduces inflammation inside the joint

  • Helps slow the progression of degenerative changes

We prefer Metagenics Glucosamine Sulfate 750 because it uses the sulfate form—clinically shown to be the most effective for cartilage repair.

Chondroitin Sulfate

Chondroitin is another structural component of cartilage. It:

  • Helps cartilage retain water so it stays cushioned

  • Protects joints from compression

  • Reduces inflammation

  • Supports long-term joint strength and resilience

Metagenics ChondroCare includes chondroitin along with MSM, manganese, and additional joint-supportive nutrients—making it a powerhouse formula for overall joint healing.


The Focus Chiropractic Knee Cartilage Repair Protocol

(Using Metagenics Supplements)

This is the protocol we recommend for most patients needing knee support, joint rebuilding, or cartilage healing:

1. Metagenics Glucosamine Sulfate 750

  • 1 tablet twice daily

    (Or 2 tablets once daily with a meal if preferred)

2. Metagenics ChondroCare

  • 2 tablets twice daily

    (Preferably with food)

3. Continue for at least 3 months

Cartilage rebuilding is slow and steady. Most patients notice improvements in:

  • Pain

  • Stiffness

  • Swelling

  • Joint glide and smoothness

  • Mobility

…within 4–6 weeks, but full tissue regeneration benefits take 12–16 weeks.

4. Chiropractic + Movement Support

Your supplements work best when combined with:

  • Aligning the knee, ankle, pelvis, and lumbar spine

  • Soft tissue and myofascial release

  • Low-impact strengthening (glutes + quads)

  • Proper knee-tracking during walking and bending

We customize these steps for every patient in the office.
