Osteoarthritis Pain ReliefContains Highly Purified Cartilage ComponentsSupports Joint ComfortGlucosamine + Chondroitin with MSM includes glucosamine HCl and chondroitin sulfate combined with sulfur-containing methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) to provide an enhanced array of nutrients to provide optimal joint comfort. Glucosamine promotes the synthesis of chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan. Research indicates that glucosamine HCl supports cartilage health, in part by maintaining healthy matrix metalloproteinase enzyme activity. Chondroitin sulfate plays a key role in cartilage development by promoting the synthesis of molecules called proteoglycans, which are involved in cartilage formation. In addition, the sulfur in MSM helps maintain the structure and integrity of proteoglycans. Several studies have shown that chondroitin sulfate has positive effects on joint comfort and mobility. Additionally, a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that MSM also promotes joint comfort and function.
