Tendofit Forte Tablet is a nutritional supplement that is useful in treating bone and joint-related disorders. It is composed of L-Arginine, Collagen, Chondroitin sulfate, Vitamin C, and Sodium Hyaluronate (Mobilee). These compounds help relieve joint pain and provide strength to the bones and joints. It also reduces oxidative stress and prevents inflammation of joints. This medicine supports overall bone and joint health, improves joint mobility, and reduces inflammation. 

• L-Arginine improves strength in the muscles. It decreases pain and inflammation in arthritis and also reduces oxidative stress.
• Chondroitin sulfate is the building block of cartilage. It protects chondrocytes, the cells that help maintain cartilage structure. It also provides long-lasting pain relief and slows down the degeneration changes of joints. It maintains the elasticity and strength of the joints.
• Collagen helps regenerate cartilage (connective tissue), thereby providing strength to the bones and improving joints' flexibility.
• Sodium Hyaluronate is similar to the joints' fluid. It acts as a lubricant and prevents friction between the joints, thereby supporting the overall movement.
• Vitamin C retards the progression of osteoarthritis by inhibiting oxidative stress and thus preventing inflammation. It also builds and maintains collagen and connective tissue.

Swallow the tablet as a whole with a glass of water, preferably with meals or as directed by the physician. Do not try to break/crush/chew the tablet. Take it in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Please do not take more than the daily recommended dosage.
