MSM Glucosamine is a great joint formula combining 1,500mg MSM with 1,500mg Glucosamine Sulfate, the best-studied dorm of glucosamine and officially recognized as an aid to osteoarthritis by the national health organizations of over 100 countries, as well as by the World Health Organization.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane, also known as dimethylsulfohone) is a biologically active sulfur compound found throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. Because MSM is readily bio-available and easily assimilated by the body, it plays a key role in both synthesizing numerous sulfur-containing proteins crucial to the proper functioning of the body, and regulating many normal biochemical processes. It helps to alleviate the pain and discomfort of a variety of health conditions, including allergies, gastrointestinal upset, arthritis and joint inflammation, parasitic infection, skin problems, lung disorder, and even snoring. MSM has been clinically proven to provide an average of 82% improvement in pain for sufferers of degenerative joint disease after six weeks of daily use. And there is impressive evidence showing that MSM is safe and non-toxic.

Glucosamine is an amino sugar critical to the integrity of joint tissues. Glucosamine Sulfate is its best-studied form, officially recognized as an aid to osteoarthritis with the national health organizations of over 100 countries as well as with the World Health Organization. It is a primary constituent of proteoglycans, which are used by the body to form articular cartilage. It stimulates the synthesis of cartilage components so that joints can be repaired. Further, Glucosamine Sulfate has been shown to exert a protective effect against joint degradation and to enhance the synthesis of hyaluronan, the substance that give the joint fluid its thick viscosity, providing lubrication between the synovial membrane and cartilage.

Numerous double-blind studies have shown that Glucosamine Sulfate is able to reduce pain associated with degenerative joint disease, often as well as or better than NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Our Glucosamine Sulfate is sodium-free, stabilized with Potassium Chloride rather than Sodium Chloride, not contributing to hypertension. Note that many manufacturers list the gross amount of the compound Glucosamine Sulfate-Potassium Chloride on the label rather than the net amount of Glucosamine Sulfate. With Ultra Botanicals, you get the full amount of Glucosamine Sulfate.
