Product description:
This formulation contains a powerful combination of Glucosamine sulfate, Chondrotin sulfate, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) along with Viatmin C and Manganese. Glucosamine sulfate (2KCL): Studies suggest that Glucosamine sulfate may be helpful for the population suffering from osteoarthritis rather than traditional drug therapy. The main function of Glucosamine is to stimulate the manufacture of the substances necessary for joint repair. It appears that some people lack the ability to manufacture Glucosamine and this has been suggested as one of the major factors leading to the development of some arthritic conditions.
Chondroitin sulfate: Chondroitin sulfate is an essential component in the body’s manufacture of cartilage. It provides structure, holds water and nutrients, allows other important nutrients to cross through to cartilage and contributes to the skeletal structure of the body. Chondroitin sulfate is also known a mucopolysaccharides. It is rich in sulfate and is classified as a type of glycosaminoglycan. Animal studies indicate that Chondroitin sulfate may promote healing and restore joint function.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): MSM is a white, water-soluble, odorless, tasteless sulfur containing nutrient. When broken apart by the body, MSM donates sulfur to produce the new compounds required for good health. MSM is the stable end-product of the methyl-S-methane series of compounds that provides all life with a dominant amount of bio-available sulfur. Experimental findings suggest that MSM may play an important biological role as a cell wall stabilizing factor. We use OptiMSM™, the purest form of MSM, which has been used in the studies. Dr. Stanley W. Jacob, M.D. has been using MSM in his practice for over 20 years. His research and clinical experience reveals that MSM is beneficial in supporting a variety of structures and functions within the body.
Vitamin C: Promotes healthy cell development, wound healing, improves resistance to infections. It is also known to improve collagen formation and provide protection against cataracts. We use Calcium ascorbate, the buffered source of vitamin C.
Calcium (Calcium ascorbate): Calcium is derived from Calcium ascorbate. This buffered form of ascorbic acid is less irritant than it’s free form.
Manganese: Necessary for the normal development of skeletal and connective tissues. Manganese is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates.
