Glucosamine MSM w/Joint Comfort by Pure Encapsulations

Pure Encapsulations' Glucosamine MSM w/Joint Comfort contains glucosamine in combination with ginger, turmeric, fat-soluble vitamin C, and the sulfur-containing methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM. The formula provides users with a broad array of nutrients that promote the optimum amount of cartilage matrix composition, joint comfort and strength of the connective tissues. Its constituents are sourced from shrimp, crab, synthetics, ginger root, turmeric root, palm oil and corn dextrose fermentation.

Both MSM and glucosamine are known to give the body intrinsic compounds necessary for the formation of healthy cartilage, such as elemental sulfur and glycosaminoglycans. Studies indicate glucosamine further supports cartilage integrity through its role in the healthy activity of matrix metalloproteinase. The sulfur, likewise, enhances the integrity and structure of proteoglycans, proteins found in copious amounts in the connective tissue of the body. The inclusion of MSM is mainly for the promotion of joint function and comfort as well as bolstering the health of the immune cells. Ginger aids in the healthy biosynthesis of leukotriene and prostaglandin, and curcumin protects the body by scavenging for free radicals.
