Active Ingredients per 1-1/2 Teaspoons:
Glucosamine HCL 99% (Shellfish Source) - 750 mg
Glucosamine stimulates the secretion of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), one of the building blocks of cartilage and the synovial fluid found in joints. GAGs increase the lubrication of the joints and provide flexibility and elasticity to the cartilage.
Methylsulfonylmethane - 750 mg
The sulfur in MSM can be utilized by the body in the formation of compounds such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, as well as the amino acids methionine and cysteine. Arthritic joints often have low levels of both sulfur and cysteine. Animal studies have found MSM helps to strengthen the tissues that make up the joints.
Chondroitin Sulfate (Bovine Source) - 180 mg
Chondroitin is produced in the body and it works to prevent enzymes from degrading the building blocks of joint cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is often used in combination with glucosamine, however, when used alone, glucosamine sulfate helps the body to manufacture its own chondroitin.
Boswellia Serrata - 135 mg
Animal studies have demonstrated Boswellia provides a dampening effect on inflammatory processes by inhibiting formation of proinflammatory leukotrienes.
Yucca Schidigera - 135 mg
May help to alleviate pain associated with daily exercise.
Vitamin C (from Ester C) - 135 mg
Hyaluronic Acid (from BioCell Collagen II ) - 5 mg
Effectively maintains connective tissue health in crucial areas such as joints, skin andcardiovascular system.
d-Alpha Tocopheryl (Vitamin E) - 5 IU
Vitamin E supplies oxygen to the blood and helps to maintain healthy membrane tissue. Vitamin E also inhibits the prostaglandins that play a role in pain, thereby reducing joint pain.
