Joint Health

Joint Health

Glucosamine Sulfate
Chondroitin Sulfate
Avocado/Soy Unsaponifiables (ASU)

These three natural ingredients are proven to provide unparalleled support for the health of joints and connective tissues.

Glucosamine and chondroitin both play a role in joint health by providing the raw materials the body uses to manufacture complex molecules called proteoglycans, which are the building blocks of joint tissue. Supplementing with glucosamine may help to rebuild cartilage and treat arthritis.

ASU is a unique ingredient, pioneered in France, which has been clinically shown to have remarkable benefits for joint health.

Potassium has been known to relieve the pain of arthritis.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) provides sulfur, a vital building block of joints, cartilage, skin, hair and nails, and methyl groups, which support many vital biochemical processes in the body, including energy production.

MSM is a naturally-occurring nutrient found in small amounts in many foods. As a dietary supplement, MSM is synthesized. When made correctly, it is identical to that found in nature. MSM can be taken alone or in combination with other joint health nutrients, such as glucosamine and chondroitin.

Hyaluronic acid is a major constituent of cartilage, providing structure and holding water and nutrients.

Special herbal extracts, such as white willow bark and boswellia, help soothe joint tissue.
