Product Notes:
Joints are composed of cartilage, which is a flexible connective tissue that is found between bones and provides a cushioning effect. Glucosamine is a major constituent for the formation of cartilage; our body's natural ability to produce glucosamine decreases as we age, so supplementation may be beneficial to support healthy joints as individuals grow older. Chondroitin aids to maintain the strength and integrity of joints and MSM is an organic sulfur compound that helps relieve inflammation associated with joint pain. In addition, Manganese is an important ingredient for the production of chondroitin in the body and Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant which protects tissues from free radical damage, thus reducing inflammation.
