Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM Complex - After several years of proven effectiveness, Glucosamine Sulfate is slowly becoming a household word. By itself, it has been shown to reduce progressive joint damage and, when taken over time, is shown to reduce inflammation in the joints. This substance is actually made by the body, and science has shown many times over that taking additionally amounts increase its effectiveness. Within the past few years, many trials have shown that taking Chondroitin Sulfate with Glucosamine Sulfate enhances the effect of both in the treatment of joint disorders and inflammation. Taking that a step further, science has revealed that MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), which is a form of sulfer, has been shown to reduce joint pain. So, it makes sense to include all three of these ingredients in a joint supplement capsule. All of these substances are already found in your tissues, but it is quite easy to overwhelm out body’s ability to create them in sufficient amounts – especially true given our present processed diet. Our Glucosamine Complex certainly contains all three of these critical ingredients, and in the proper amounts for your joint protection and maintenance.
The founder of Elemental Nutrition, Patrick Rhodes, has actually been to India. One of the things he remarked on was how healthy the general populous was – at least in the southern part where he was visiting. A couple of reasons for this – one is because of the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables there – you can get them from street vendors that were picked that morning. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find unhealthy foods there due to the lack of processing going on. Another reason is due to the Ayurvedic treatment of ailments in that region of the world. Boswellia (from the Boswellia Serrata tree), from the dryer hills of India, is used in Ayurvedic treatment of inflammation. The Indians have been using it for hundreds of years and we are including it in our joint supplement. It has similar properties of NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen), but with none of the gastric distress or other side effects.
Bromelain is a digestive enzyme found in the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant. Its role in digestion is well known, but it also touts additional benefits including a role in reducing anti-inflammation. Additionally, but reducing inflammation it also reduces the pain associated with it. Our joint supplement – Glucosamine Complex – also includes this for you so you know you are getting a complete joint supplement – not just one or two of the ingredients which cannot act as effectively as all of them together.
