Doctor's Best, Synergistic Glucosamine MSM Formula, 180 Capsules

• Bioavailable form of sulfur to support joints and overall health
• Strengthens joint and skin structure and supports joint function
• Maintains healthy connective tissue
• MSM helps keep skin, hair and nails healthy by donating sulfur for products of keratin, a fibrous protein

Synergistic Glucosamine/MSM Formula supplies only sodium-free, potassium-stabilized glucosamine sulfate. Lignisul MSM is pure MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), a naturally-occuring source of organic dietary sulfur that is readily absorbed and utilized by the body to meet its sulfur needs.

Glucosamine Sulfate supports normal, healthy joint function and helps maintain healthy cartilage in joints. MSM supports organ and joint function by donating sulfur for maintenance of healthy connective tissue. Vitamin C is essential for production of collagen, a protein that gives strength to cartilage.

Glucosamine sulfate supports joint function by supplying the body with dietary ingredients (glucosamine and sulfur) for building joint cartilage. Glucosamine, an amino sugar normally manufactured in cartilage, stimulates the production of cartilage components known as "glycosaminoglycans."1 These substances are essential to the maintenance of sound joint structure, which in turn allows for normal joint function.

MSM, organic sulfur is a structural mineral that maintains the strength of various tissues by forming sulfur "tie-bars" (sulfhydryl bonds) between connective tissue proteins. MSM supplies the body with nature’s original source of organic bioavailable sulfur.

Vitamin C is essential for the formation of collagen, the protein fiber that gives cartilage its structural strength.

Why is potassium-stabilized glucosamine sulfate preferable?

In order for glucosamine sulfate to be processed for oral intake as a supplement, it must be stabilized with either sodium or potassium. Either mineral works for this purpose. Potassium is preferable. Many people are on sodium-restricted diets, and the Standard American Diet tends to be high in sodium and low in potassium. What’s more, studies have found that people needing joint support are low in both salivary potassium and total body potassium.

Glucosamine Sulfate: A Solid Foundation of Clinical Evidence

Glucosamine sulfate has been thoroughly researched over the last 20 years. Double-blind and open clinical trials convincingly demonstrate that oral glucosamine sulfate improves joint function.

In one large open trial, more than 1,200 people took oral glucosamine sulfate for periods ranging from 36 to 64 days. 252 physicians participated in this multi-center study. 95% of the subjects experienced greater joint comfort and increased mobility. The physicians reported "good" results in 59%, and "sufficient" results in 36%. The improvements lasted for up to three months after the glucosamine sulfate was discontinued.

Why the Human Body Needs MSM

The human body requires a continuous supply of bioavailable sulfur, and MSM is one of the primary, organic, sulfur-containing molecules for use by living organisms. MSM occurs normally in tissues and body fluids. Scientists who have studied MSM in detail believe MSM is an absolute requirement for maintenance of healthy tissues and organ functions.

The research on MSM has led to the filing of several patents that cover numerous uses of MSM as a dietary ingredient for both humans and animals. Through these studies, it has been found that physical and psychological stress increases in the body when its MSM supply falls below minimum levels, resulting in a loss of normal organ function.

MSM supports joint and organ function by donating sulfur for formation of sulfur tie-bars that maintain the integrity of cartilage and other tissues. Based on clinical observations, MSM benefits the body in many ways, which include maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and nails, digestive system support, and immune support. MSM is as nontoxic to the body as water, and is therefore completely safe, even at high dosage levels.

Supplementation is Needed to Realize the Benefits of MSM

Widespread in nature, MSM is found in a variety of foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, raw milk, raw meat and raw fish. However, MSM is a volatile substance easily lost during cooking, pasteurization, food processing and storage. The average American diet thus supplies at best a marginal MSM intake, which may be inadequate to maintain the optimum MSM concentration in the body. The body’s MSM concentration is also believed to decline with increasing age.
