Studio : Natural Wellbeing Publisher : Natural Wellbeing Binding : Health and Beauty Product Description Joint Care Essentialsª contains a synergistic blend of natural joint-supportive ingredients that help relieve joint pain and soft tissue inflammation, and repair damaged tissues: Glucosamine Sulfate Glucosamine is a precursor for glycosaminoglycans, a major component of joint cartilage. It has been widely recognized as beneficial for joint pain through several mechanisms: Provides anti-inflammatory action Stimulates proteoglycan synthesis which strengthens and repairs the cartilage matrix Decreases damage to cartilage and joint structures by inhibiting the synthesis of proteolytic enzymes Stimulates production of hyaluronic acid, an important component of synovial (joint) fluid which reduces friction between joint surfaces during movement Chondroitin Sulfate Like glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate is comprised of long chains of sugars and is an important part of the structural makeup of cartilage. It plays a significant role in joint health: Provides resilience to cartilage, enhancing its resistance to compression Improves the quality of the synovial fluid May help neutralize destructive enzymes in the joints Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) MSM is a rich source of biologically active sulfur. It has been shown to help relieve the symptoms of joint pain through a natural anti-inflammatory action, though the mechanism of this action is not fully understood. Bromelain (from Pineapple) First introduced as a therapeutic supplement over fifty years ago, bromelain is a combination of proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes extracted from the stem of the pineapple. It is a natural anti-inflammatory whose action arises from its ability to block certain proinflammatory mediators. It is widely used to treat sports injuries, trauma, and stiff joints.
