Glucosamine Chondroitin: Structural Support for Joints

Glucosamine, which is synthesized in our bodies from glucose, is a major component of joint-soothing glycosaminoglycans (GAG's). Chondroitin sulfate is the most abundant GAG in the body. GAG's in turn form proteoglycans, molecules that hold and bind the water that is so important to lubricate joints, disperse stress and provide nourishment to joint tissue.

Glucosamine sulfate has been found to be well-absorbed after oral administration. Numerous double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have examined the positive effects of oral administration of 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate - the amount in one daily use of Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex with MSM.

Dietary Sulfur for Joint Lubrication

Both glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate provide an additional source of sulfur, a mineral that is important for healthy connective tissue. The formula also features MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, a naturally occurring form of organic sulfur found in the body fluids and tissue, cow's milk, plants and most natural foods.

MSM is an important source of dietary sulfur, which is vital to all tissues and needed constantly in an assimilable form. Sulfur may promote joint flexibility due to its role in supporting joint lubrication and movement.

Molybdenum: Critical Trace Mineral

Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex with MSM also contains molybdenum to ensure an adequate supply of this trace mineral to the body. High amounts of organic sulfur in the diet increase urinary molybdenum loss. Molybdenum is necessary for the proper functioning of the sulfite oxidase enzyme, which in turn supports the proper metabolism of glucosamine sulfate and MSM.

Vitamin C: Essential for Collagen

Vitamin C is essential for the production and stability of collagen, the major protein in cartilage and connective tissue. It also protects cells from harmful free radicals.

Glucosamine / Chondroitin / MSM - 120 Caps - Doctor's Best Glucosamine / Chondroitin / MSM by Docotor's Best. This Glucosamine / Chondroitin / MSM formula was created for people who like the powerful combination of the three. Glucosamine sulfate supports joint structure and function, as demonstrated in double blind studies. Glucosamine sulfate contains sodium free, potassium stabilized Glucosamine sulfate. Chondroitin sulfate helps cartilage function as a "shock absorber" in joints and helps protect "Synovial fluid" which lubricates joints. MSM helps maintain the pliancy and flexibility of tissues and cell membranes-forms the sulfur "tie bars" between proteins. Studies suggest MSM supports joint health, digestive function, immune strength, lung function and more.
