The NOW combines in one dietary supplement, three of the most popular and effective nutrients to support ligaments and joints. The product contains glucosamine and chondroitin in sulfuric form. Additionally, it contains MSM, an organic form of sulfur found in all living organisms.
Glucosamine and chondroitin are two safe, natural, and effective compounds that support the healthy function of joints by providing the necessary substances for the production of collagen and proteoglycans. Working together, these two compounds safely provide many of the basic structural components required for the proper and physiological formation of articular cartilage.
Chondroitin binds together with collagen to form the basis of connective tissue. It helps attract and bind fluid to proteoglycans, resulting in the transport of nutrients to the cartilage and consequently the absorption of shocks. It also appears to inhibit enzymes that can destroy cartilage tissue. Chondroitin interacts with glucosamine, while together they form the basis of many popular supplements to support ligaments.
MSM has anti-inflammatory, analgesic action and particularly contributes to the maintenance of cartilage health or cartilage restoration.
