Health function: Joint/Connective Tissue Function
Glucosamine + MSM Forte capsules may be a useful addition for individuals who wish to support the structure and function of the body's connective tissues, such as cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments, and skin, providing additional aid in maintaining the health of aging joints.
Glucosamine + MSM Forte capsules contain 500mg of pure glucosamine sulfate and 250mg of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). Ascorbic acid, proanthocyanidins, and bromelain are also included to provide additional aid in maintaining the health of aging joints. The availability of glucosamine is an integral part of the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans that are necessary during the constant remodeling that aging cartilage undergoes. Thus, the maintenance of healthy aging cartilage may be improved with the use of glucosamine. MSM helps maintain normal immune response, lung function, connective tissue metabolism, and muscle contraction. MSM occurs naturally in a variety of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, milk, and fish. However, MSM is volatile and easily lost during cooking. MSM is very well absorbed by the intestinal tract and rapidly distributed within the body. Bromelain's ability to modulate the body's normal inflammatory processes may reduce the discomfort associated with aging joints. Proanthocyanidins help maintain the natural elasticity of collagen in skin, arteries, capillaries, and other connective tissues. Suggested use: One capsule per day or as directed by physician.
