Glucosamine, Chondriotin & MSM 1400 mg (500mg/400mg/500mg) 90/180 Tablets
NPN 80010888
Glucosamine is a building block for healthy cartilage and also helps to make the cushioning fluid between joints, while chondroitin stimulates production of key components found in cartilage. Together they protect and rebuild damaged cartilage and offer ultimate support for joints and cartilage. MSM fights inflammation by enhancing the body's own anti-inflammatory control system and accelerates healing. Each ingredient is effective on its own, but when taken together, they provide a synergistic effect to help protect against the deterioration of cartilage due to chronic joint disease. It is a safe and natural solution for people with joint problems and osteoarthritis.
