Glucosamine is an important component of cartilage. It stimulates the production of new cartilage cells in the joints and protects them from breaking down. Studies show that glucosamine sulphate reduces pain and improves joint function in those with osteoarthritis.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally-occurring sulphur compound. The sulphur from MSM is used to produce glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulphate, dermatan sulphate and hyaluronic acid. These sulphur-containing glycosaminoglycans are found in high concentrations in connective tissues, including joint cartilage and synovial fluid. MSM has been used to ease aches, pains and inflammation, and accelerate healing and repair in arthritis. This formula uses OptiMSM™, a non toxic, non allergenic, 99.9% pure pharmaceutical grade quality of MSM.
