Glucosamine Tissue/ Joint Complex

Musculoskeletal System--Structural Building Blocks

Certain building blocks of joints and connective tissue can help maintain joint integrity and comfort. Glucosamine is a major constituent of glycosaminoglycans, which in turn form proteoglycans, molecules that hold and bind the water that lubricates joints, disperses stress and nourishes joint tissue. The amino acids proline and lysine are structural components of collagen and elastin, which give strength to connective tissue.

Musculoskeletal System--Tissue Production Cofactors

Some micronutrients are necessary as cofactors in the production of connective tissue. For example, vitamin C and copper help form hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, main constituents of collagen.

Grape Seed, Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Vitamins A, B-6 and C, Niacinamide

Soothing Relief Mechanisms

Some herbs and nutrients have the capacity to support the body's natural mechanisms for increasing comfort. Boswellia, for example, is an herb with soothing properties, while vitamin B-6 helps to stabilize collagen and elastin. Tissue comfort and health are supported by additional herbs and nutrients, acting in conjunction with antioxidant protectors.

Boswellia Serrata, Quercetin, Turmeric, Copper, Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin C

Antioxidant Defense

The health and integrity of joints and tissues--specifically of cell membranes--are supported by botanicals and nutrients that aid the body's natural antioxidant response. These antioxidant substances counteract the cycle of free radical production generated in the body's natural process of tissue renewal.
