Getting to Know Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a compound found in nearly all human tissues, especially connective tissue. The highest concentrations of glucosamine in the human body are found in cartilage.² Glucosamine is used by cartilage cells to create structural components found in the joint capsule.^** This complex system is responsible for cushioning joints and bones and providing shock absorption.^**

Glucosamine is especially good for anyone seeking extra nutritional support for joints and connective tissue.^** As a key structural component in cartilage, it helps maintain the health of your joint cartilage.^** By doing so, glucosamine supports your joints’ natural ability to properly absorb outside forces.^** The cartilage and joint support system promotes flexibility and mobility of joints for comfortable movement.^**

Chondroitin

Between 800 and 1,200 mg of chondroitin is recommended for optimal joint health benefits.^**

Chondroitin sulfate is a naturally occurring nutrient found in various types of connective tissue such as cartilage, bone, ligaments, and tendons.¹ The structure of chondroitin sulfate causes it to attract water which is good news for your joints. Pulling water into the connective tissues supports joint flexibility and cushions joints.^**

Much like many structures in the body, cartilage is continuously being broken down and replaced by new cartilage.² Chondroitin works with enzymes involved in this process to promote a healthy balance, thereby maintaining joint cartilage.^** Furthermore, chondroitin sulfate provides the building blocks for larger molecules that make up joint cartilage to help renew cartilage.^**

MSM

You’ve probably heard of MSM, but what exactly is it?

Is it a vitamin, a mineral, or something else? MSM is a nonvitamin, nonmineral dietary supplement – Meaning it is not essential for survival, but consuming MSM offers auxiliary support.

MSM stands for methylsulfonylmethane, which refers to the structure of this naturally occurring compound. The “S” or “sulfonyl” is a fancy way of saying, a sulfur-containing group, and this group is what makes MSM so special.

Sulfur is a mineral that is naturally found in foods like eggs and garlic. Sulfur is stored in every cell of the body. The articular cartilage found at the ends of bones contains sulfur.
