A synergistic combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate with MSM.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin are components of substances called proteoglycans and glucosaminoglycans. These substances are the major building blocks of cartilige. They are both found naturally in the body's joints and connective tissues where they are used for cartilige repair and maintenance providing structure, holding water and nutrients, and allowing other molecules to move through cartilage which is an important property, as there is no blood supply to cartilage. MSM, Methylsulfonylmethane which is approximately 34% Sulfur by weight, works in large part by donating the mineral to a broad range of normal biochemical processes in the body. Sulfur plays an essential role in human health. Sulfur is a component of amino acids (Taurine, Methionine Cysteine), some vitamins (B1, Biotin), hormones (Insulin), coenzymes (Coenzyme A), and antioxidants (Alpha-lipoic acid, N-acetylcysteine, glutathione). Sulfur is necessary to build disulfide bonds, which hold together tissue. It forms part of the body's physical structure, including protein, collagen, glucosamine, skin, and nails. MSM can relieve pain and inflammation in muscles and joints. A considerable ammount joint components are made from collagen and glucosamine, both of which are sulfur dependent.
