Extra Strength! Glucosamine and chondroitin treat the underlying basis of osteoarthritis at the cellular level. This combination works to maintain the structural integrity of joints and connective tissue while it jumpstarts the healing process. Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin protect the cartilage and connective tissue and optimize joint function. Supplemental glucosamine helps to stimulate the manufacture of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), key components of cartilage. Chondroitin is also a key component of joint cartilage. It works by attracting water into cartilage providing it with nutrients and lubrication. It also inhibits excessive cartilage-destroying enzymes, otherwise necessary for removing damaged cartilage, and stimulates your body's production of chondrocytes and proteogylcans, necessary for regaining balance. MSM is a natural, non toxic pain reliever and anti-inflammatory. It inhibits pain impulses along nerve fibres, helping to reduce pain and muscle spasms. It also increases blood supply and softens scar tissue. This formula contains 500 mg of glucosamine and 400 mg each of chondroitin and MSM.
