Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM with Enzymes

MSM (methylsulfonymethane): a naturally occurring sulfur compound and a derivative of DMSO, composed of 34% bio-available sulphur. It supports the integrity of healthy mucous membranes and is necessary for the production of collagen and keratin, the primary proteins in hair, skin, and nails. MSM also plays a role in the formation of bones, joints, ligaments and tendons. OptiMSM is the original, patented MSM and is safe, effective and 99.9% pure methylsulfonymethane. It is American-produced in an NNDA-GMP-certified MSM facility and is certified Kosher-an additional assurance of quality and purity.

Chondroitin sulfate: works cooperatively in the support and stabilization of collagen, the chief fibrous protein component of connective tissue. It attracts water into the glycosaminoglycans, increasing tissue elasticity and joint cushioning, and it protects cartilage by inhibiting the action of destructive enzymes. Like glucosamine, chondroitin stimulates production of glycosaminoglycans.
Glucosamine sulfate is a supplemental form of glucosamine, an amino sugar made by the body and involved with forming nails, tendons, ligaments, heart valves and other tissues.

Glucosamine hydrochloride: is a naturally occurring, essential component of glycosaminoglycans, the sponge-like compounds which absorb and bind water within cartilage. Glucosamine hydrochloride is, therefore, crucial for maintaining joint cushioning, flexibility, function, and integrity. Glucosamine hydrochloride is also important in the formation and structure of bones, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissue, stimulating cartilage production and natural joint repair.

Collagen: is the major structural component of articular cartilage in joints. Type II collagen from chicken sternal cartilage contains the highest amount of joint-related proteoglycans, including glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate and cartilage matrix glycoprotein. It is also much more absorbable than other forms of collagen, with an absorption rate of 70 to 90 percent.

Enzymes: Protease, amylase, alpha-galactosidase, pectinase, lactase, cellulase, invertase, and lipase.
Other Ingredients: Vegetable capsule (HPMC, water), rice flour, and l-leucine.

Contains shrimp and crab products.

Take two (2) capsules daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Allergic Reactions: Individuals with shellfish allergies should exercise caution, as glucosamine is often derived from shellfish. Check labels and consult a healthcare provider if unsure.

Digestive Issues: Some users may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea. Starting with a lower dose can help mitigate these effects.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well-established; consult a healthcare professional before use.

Medication Interactions: This supplement may interact with blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications, or other treatments. Consult a healthcare provider if you are taking any medications.

Underlying Health Conditions: Individuals with diabetes, asthma, or bleeding disorders should consult a healthcare professional before using this product, as it may affect blood sugar levels or other health conditions.

Long-Term Use: Long-term use should be discussed with a healthcare provider to ensure safety and appropriateness.

Always follow the recommended dosage and consult a healthcare professional with any concerns before starting the supplement.
