Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage. It is a form of an amino sugar that plays a major role in cartilage formation and repair. It is beneficial in the treatment of osteoarthritis and has been proven effective in easing osteoarthritis pain, rehabilitating cartilage, and repairing joints that have been damaged from osteoarthritis. Many studies have shown that glucosamine is beneficial in the treatment of osteoarthritis.*

Each person produces a certain amount of glucosamine within their bodies. People lose the capacity to make enough glucosamine as they grow older. The cartilage in their weight-bearing joints, such as the hips, knees, and hands is destroyed, then hardens and forms bone spurs, causing pain, deformed joints, and limited joint movement. Supplementing with glucosamine can help replace this deficiency and restore the proper glucosamine balance as it is not found in the food we eat.

Glucosamine is a safe and effective natural supplement that is been shown to be safer to use than NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Glucosamine has not been linked with long-term detrimental effects so common with NSAIDS making it safe for long-term use.

Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM)
MSM, derived from a plant source, is a form of sulfur that is found naturally in the human body. It supports healthy connective tissues like tendons, ligaments, and muscle so it is important in conditions such as arthritis, muscle pains, bursitis, etc.* Experiments have shown that the sulfur contained in MSM helps form the essential amino acids methionine and cysteine. These amino acids are mainly involved in the reconstruction of cartilage. The sulfur concentration in arthritic cartilage has been shown to be about one-third the level compared with normal cartilage.

Collagen
Collagen, which also comes from a plant source, is the fibrous protein constituent of skin, cartilage, bone, and other connective tissue. More than a third of the body's protein is collagen and it makes up 75% of our skin. Collagen is a major structural protein that strengthens the tendons and supports the skin and internal organs. Collagen provides structure to our bodies, protecting and supporting the softer tissues and connecting them with the skeleton. Clinical results and testimonials have shown that the skin becomes smoother, visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Hair and nails become stronger by up to 36%. If taken regularly, collagen can preserve, build and replenish lean muscle mass and encourage the body to shed fat.*

Devil’s Claw Extract
Native to southern Africa, Devil's Claw root or Harpagophytum has been used for thousands of years in remedies to treat pain and complications of pregnancy and in topical ointments to heal sores, boils, and other skin problems. Since its introduction into Europe in the 1900s, it has been used for many conditions including relief from low back and neck pain and in reducing inflammation. In fact, mounting evidence suggests that Devil's Claw root may help relieve pain and inflammation in people with arthritis and other painful disorders. Several studies have found that taking Devil's Claw for several months substantially reduces pain and improves physical functioning in people with osteoarthritis.*<
