Overview
Glucosamine and Chondroitin are recognized as the leading supplements for maintenance of healthy joints. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is added to further support healthy joint function. Our Glucosamine Complex with Chondroitin & MSM is a custom formulation that provides a balanced combination of these nutritional supplements. Research indicates that the combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate was more effective at slowing the progression of cartilage breakdown than either of these supplements alone. Recent studies have shown positive effects of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate preparations on joint disorders; these studies concluded that Sulfate is the form best utilized by the body. Glucosamine provides the raw materials needed by the body to manufacture cartilage. MSM has potential therapeutic application to support healthy inflammatory response and healthy joint function. In addition, this formula contains Bromelain and Boswellia, added for support and designed to enhance the effects of the overall formula.
Wheydepot.com Glucosamine Complex with Chondroitin & MSM is available in 120 count capsules.
Glucosamine Sulfate
Glucosamine Sulfate is an aminopolysaccharide, which is a combination of an amino acid (glutamine) and a sugar (glucose). Glucosamine is produced by the body and provides the raw material for substances that provide the foundation for many of the body’s tissues including cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and collagen to mention a few. Glucosamine also supports the health of tissues that make up many of the body’s organs. Glucosamine may not work as quickly as pain relieving medications, but over time it may be more effective—this is because medications tend to wear off quickly, but Glucosamine continues to work, sometimes for weeks after the supplements are discontinued. Research indicates that Glucosamine may help to relieve the stiffness, pain and swelling associated with joint disorders. In a double-blind clinical trial that compared administration of 1200 mg ibuprofen to 1500 mg of Glucosamine Sulfate, test subjects taking Glucosamine Sulfate experienced less pain than those taking ibuprofen. Approximately 70 countries worldwide authorize Glucosamine as a ‘treatment’ for persons with mild to moderately severe joint disorders.

Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin Sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan, which is a long chain of specialized polysaccharides (or sugars). It is used in the body as a building block to form connective tissues such as cartilage; it is also present in the walls of blood vessels. It keeps cartilage fluid and elastic. Researchers believe that Chondroitin Sulfate works in two different ways; it provides the raw material needed to repair cartilage and it may block enzyme activity that breaks down cartilage. Recent studies indicate that Chondroitin may be as effective at relief of joint pain as aspirin and other nonsteroidal medications without the gastrointestinal problems.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural sulfur-containing compound that is produced in the human body. MSM may support healthy inflammatory response and is thought to be a natural pain reliever. Although MSM occurs naturally in foods, even moderate food processing destroys most of it. Plants, animals and humans need sulfur for a wide variety of biological processes. MSM is a source of biological sulfur, which is a major component in many of the body’s proteins, tissues, hormones and enzymes. Sulfur also plays a role in the detoxification of the liver. Our MSM is a non-animal based nutritional supplement derived from pine trees.
