Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM - 240 capsules

Glucosamine + Chondroitin + MSM This Jarrow combination provides effective amounts of Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin Sulfate, and Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), with added Vitamin C and Manganese to optimize joint health.

Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are essential components of joint tissue, involved in the production of hyaluronic acid, which is an important component of synovial fluid, which in turn is responsible for lubricating joints and is a major component of the connective tissue of the skin.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organic source of sulfur, an antioxidant, and a critical component of the body's structural tissues, such as cartilage. The sulfur from MSM is present in joint tissues as glycosaminoglycans (or mucopolysaccharides), chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid.

Vitamin C and Manganese – Vitamin C ’s role in collagen formation and connective tissue health is well known. In addition, vitamin C consumption has been shown to reduce the risk of cartilage loss in people with suboptimal joint function. Manganese is the preferred cofactor for enzymes called glycosyltransferases; these enzymes are required for the synthesis of proteoglycans, which in turn are required for the formation of healthy cartilage and bone.
