Glucosamine with MSM to Promote Healthy Joint Function - reduce the pain associated with arthritis - support for Interstitial Cystitis (IC) - reduce muscle soreness and cramping - and alleviate allergies - Glucosamine and MSM: work together to promote healthy joints, alleviate progressive joint damage, reduce pain associated various joint problems.

Glucosamine and MSM are supplements that work together to promote healthy joints. Glucosamine provides the raw materials needed by the body to manufacture cartilage. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) has potential therapeutic application to support healthy inflammatory response and healthy joint function. Recent studies have shown positive effects of Glucosamine and MSM preparations to support healthy joint function. Glucosamine sulfate is the form best absorbed by the body and the one most commonly used in dietary supplements.

Glucosamine Sulfate Overview

Glucosamine sulfate is an aminopolysaccharide, which is a combination of an amino acid (glutamine) and a sugar (glucose). Glucosamine is produced by the body and provides the raw material for substances that provide the foundation for many of the body's tissues including cartilage, ligaments, tendons, collagen to mention a few. Glucosamine also supports the health of tissues that make up many of the body's organs. Glucosamine may not work as quickly as pain relieving medications, but it may be more effective over time-this is because medications tend to wear off quickly, but glucosamine continues to work, sometimes for weeks after the supplements are discontinued. Research indicates that glucosamine may help to relieve the stiffness, pain and swelling associated with joint disorders. In a double-blind clinical trial that compared administration of 1200 mg ibuprofen to 1500 mg of Glucosamine Sulfate, test subjects taking Glucosamine Sulfate experienced less pain than those taking ibuprofen. Approximately 70 countries worldwide authorize glucosamine as a 'treatment' for persons with mild to moderately severe joint disorders.

Glucosamine does not occur in foods that are readily available. The glucosamine sulfate used our facility is derived from the processed shells of shrimp, lobster and crab. Glucosamine sulfate is the form best absorbed by the body and the one most commonly used to support healthy joint function.

Research Indicates

Commonly used by medical practitioners in treatment of joint disorders
May help alleviate progressive joint damage
May promote healthy healing and lessen scarring from wounds or surgery
May support healthy inflammation response
Shown to speed healing of joint sprains and muscle strains
Shows promise in the treatment of kidney stones (more research is needed to substantiate any claims)

MSM Overview

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural sulfur-containing compound that is produced in the human body. MSM may support healthy inflammatory response and is thought to be a natural pain reliever. Although MSM occurs naturally in foods, even moderate food processing destroys most of it. Plants, animals and humans need sulfur for a wide variety of biological processes. MSM is a source of biological sulfur, which is a major component in many of the body's proteins, tissues, hormones and enzymes. Sulfur also plays a role in the detoxification of the liver. Our MSM is a non-animal-based nutritional supplement derived from pine trees. Unlike most forms of MSM, which are synthetic, LignisulT is an all-natural source of MSM. In addition, Lignisul has been certified Kosher-Parve by the Kosher Overseers Associates of America.
