Glucosamine Sulfate is a synthetic version of a compound the human body makes to stimulate the growth of cartilage. The idea is that such compounds help rebuild cartilage and reduce the symptoms of arthritis.

The supplement is an acceptable treatment in veterinary medicine, but the Arthritis Foundation and the American College of Rheumatology have not yet officially recommended it for humans, despite a large body of evidence supporting its use and the fact that it is considered a drug in several countries around the world.

The United States Food and Drug Administration does not approve any dietary supplement, and, as such, at this time Glucosamine is sold as a nutritional supplement and therefore does not need evidence of safety and efficacy. Glucosamine has been studied for over 20 years.

Suggested Uses:

1-Cartilage formation & repair.

2-Athletes who experience connective tissue stress.

3-Joint pain relief.

4-Treatment of Arthritis.  

Clucosamine & Chondroitin Sulfate (CS) is a Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) found in connective tissue and the nervous system, normally attached to a protein core. CS GAG chains are heteropolycaccharides of variable length comprised of alternating sugars D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNac). In some of these sugars, some GlcA residues are epimerized into L-iduronic acid (IdoA), in which case the GAG chain would be called dermatan Sulfate (DS).

In the matrix of cartilage, CS functions to maintain osmotic pressure by absorbing water and therefore help hydrate the cartilage. CS also contributes to the flexibility and elasticity of the bone. Most importantly, it serves as a chondroprotective agent by protecting the cartilage against enzymatic reactions and free radical damage (including nitric oxide released by chondrocytes).

Suggested Uses:

1-Treatment of Arthritis.

2-Cancer.

3-Wound Healing. 

MSM Methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM) is a naturally-occurring sulfur compound.
Many years of clinical use at Oregon Health Sciences University has demonstrated that MSM provides pain relief and anti-inflammatory benefits.
 

Some of MSM's essential functions in the body include maintaining the structure of the proteins in the body, helping the formation of keratin which is essential for hair and nail growth. Some studies demonstrated the effectiveness of a natural substance Lignisul MSM on acute athletic injuries, such as muscle sprains and strains.

Suggested Uses:

1-Inhibition of pain impulses along nerve fibers (analgesia).
2-Lessening of inflammation.
3-Increase in blood supply.
4-Reduction of muscle spasm.
5-Softening of scar tissue.
6-Hair and nail growth.
