Planetary Herbals, Glucosamine-MSM Herbal, 180 Tablets

Glucosamine-MSM Herbal
Promotes Healthy Joint Function

Glucosamine MSM Herbal combines leading joint support nutrients, in clinically substantiated potencies, with traditional herbs used around the world to support bone and joint function. The formula combines glucosamine, a building block of joints, with dietary sulfur (MSM), which is necessary for healthy connective tissue, and classic Ayurvedic, Chinese and Native American botanicals.

Together, these nutrients and herbs soothe and lubricate joints, ease movement, and promote joint, tendon and ligament flexibility. Glucosamine MSM Herbal exemplifies Planetary Formulas' commitment to herbalism at its best - uniting traditional herbal wisdom with the findings of modern clinical and pharmacological research.

• Glucosamine: Glucosamine is a major component of joint-soothing glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which in turn form proteoglycans. These molecules hold the water that is so important to lubricate joints, disperse stress and nourish joint tissue. Glucosamine sulfate is well-absorbed and provides an additional source of sulfur. Numerous double-blind, placebocontrolled studies have examined the positive effects of glucosamine sulfate in amounts comparable to this formula.
  
  
• MSM: MSM is an important source of dietary sulfur, a mineral that is vital to all tissues and needed constantly in an assimilable form. Sulfur may promote flexibility due to its role in supporting joint lubrication and movement.
  
  
• Molybdenum: Glucosamine MSM Herbal also contains molybdenum, to ensure an adequate supply of this trace mineral. High amounts of dietary sulfur increase urinary molybdenum loss. Molybdenum is necessary for the functioning of an enzyme that supports proper metabolism of glucosamine sulfate and MSM.
  
  
• Traditional Herbal Blend: Planetary Formulas has traveled around the world to search out botanicals traditionally used to support bones and joints. Boswellia, an important Ayurvedic herb, and wild yam, which is esteemed by Native American herbalists, have been valued for their soothing properties. The traditional Chinese herb, teasel root, is a primary botanical used to support the skeletal system, and eucommia bark is a classic Chinese back tonic.
