This unique formula contains Glucosamine to support joint and cartilage health, along with the popular ingredients Chondroitin and MSM.* Glucosamine is a compound found in nearly all human tissues, especially connective tissue, and helps support the structural framework responsible for cushioning joints.* Chondroitin sulfate is a naturally-occurring nutrient found in various types of connective tissue such as cartilage, bone, ligaments, and tendons, and MSM is a natural source of sulfur. Individual Results May VaryThe Science Behind GlucosamineGlucosamine is one of the most scientifically studied supplements for joint health.**
It has been investigated in more than 20 well-designed human studies involving over 2,500 subjects2 and continues to be studied. In these studies, glucosamine has been well tolerated2 and has been shown to be effective at promoting joint comfort.**
Glucosamine is available in many different forms including glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride. Glucosamine sulfate has been shown to be well absorbed from the human digestive tract.3 There is scientific evidence to suggest that these two forms of glucosamine are equally effective when taken as dietary supplements.4,5ChondroitinBetween 800 and 1,200 mg of chondroitin is recommended for optimal joint health benefits.**
Chondroitin sulfate is a naturally-occurring nutrient found in various types of connective tissue such as cartilage, bone, ligaments and tendons.1 The structure of chondroitin sulfate causes it to attract water which is good news for your joints. Pulling water into the connective tissues supports joint flexibility and cushions joints.**
Much like many structures in the body, cartilage is continuously being broken down and replaced by new cartilage.2 Chondroitin works with enzymes involved in this process to promote a healthy balance, thereby maintaining joint cartilage.** Furthermore, chondroitin sulfate provides the building blocks for larger molecules that make up joint cartilage.**
MSM
You've probably heard of MSM, but what exactly is it?
Is it a vitamin, a mineral, or something else? MSM is a nonvitamin, nonmineral dietary supplement - Meaning it is not essential for survival, but consuming MSM offers auxiliary support.
MSM stands for methylsulfonylmethane, which refers to the structure of this naturally occurring compound. The “S” or “sulfonyl” is a fancy way of saying, a sulfur containing group and this group is what makes MSM so special.
Sulfur is a mineral that is naturally found in foods like eggs and garlic. Sulfur is stored in every cell of the body. The articular cartilage found at the ends of bones contains sulfur.
