Solgar Extra Strength Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM

Solgar Extra Strength Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM Tablets - (Shellfish-Free)

Glucosamine provides raw material for the production of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), important structural components of cartilage. An increase in glucosamine in the diet correlates to an increase in the production of glycosaminoglycans with subsequent increased water retention in the cartilage matrix - a factor that is thought to improve its shock-absorbing properties.

Chondroitin sulphate is a type of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and as such is one of the major structural components of cartilage, tendons and bones. Chondroitin sulphate is a sulphur-bearing compound, which is supportive of collagen synthesis and connective tissue. It also helps to retain water in the cartilage structure.

MSM is a source of organic sulphur, which is important for the formation of collagen, a strong fibrous protein which forms a flexible matrix that is the foundation of cartilage tissue.

The combination of glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM has been found to be more effective than glucosamine alone so this combination of nutrients is the ideal choice for anyone looking to support joint health and maintain flexibility. Unlike some glucosamine products this formula is suitable for those with shellfish allergies because the glucosamine is derived from vegetarian sources.
