MSM Plus: how glucosamine
and chondroitin sulfate work synergistically
with MSM to relieve arthritis pain:
MSM Plus mixes pure joint pain reducing MSM with Chondroitin Sulfate and
Glucosamine, both of which are proven to improve mobility, relieve joint
pain and arthritis pain in osteoarthritis.
As well as arthritis pain relief,
there is evidence that MSM combined with Glucosamine and Chondroitin
Sulfate may also slow the progress of the disease. Potassium is a requisite
ingredient in the bonding of Glucosamine.
Glucosamine is a simple molecule
made of an amine and glucose. It stimulates the creation of glycosaminoglycan
(GAG). Without glycosaminoglycan, the collagen matrix is deprived of
its gel like nature and its ability to be a shock absorber. The body’s
intrinsic production of glucosamine lessens in some people as a result
of aging. The inability to make glucosamine may be a main factor leading
to arthritis pain and joint pain in osteoarthritis.
Chondroitin Sulfate
(CS) is a mucopolysaccharide which contains a mixture of partially
hydrolyzed or intact glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). It is a main structural
component of cartilage and furnishes a matrix upon which collagen, the
main structural protein of tendons and ligaments, is built. Mucopolysaccharides
also reduces arthritis pain and muscle pain by adding resiliency and
elasticity to skin and other tissue. Bovine cartilage extracts, Shark
cartilage, and sea cucumber also have GAGs. Chondroitin Sulfate is made
of repeating units of derivatives of GS with sugar molecules attached.
Research has documented the superiority of MSM combined with glucosamine
and chondroitin for treating osteoarthritis pain of the knee and may
be used as a celebrex alternative as well a vioxx alternative for arthritis
treatment. Clinical tests using a regimen of MSM combined with glucosamine
and chondroitin versus NSAIDs are impressive. It seems that while glucosamine
alone is better than Chondroitin Sulfate alone, using glucosamine and
Chondroitin Sulfate together with MSM offers much greater improvement
of chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis and short term arthritis
pain than either used alone.
