HOW IT WORKS: Glucosamine is an essential substrate for the formation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans, the main components of cartilage tissue. Proteoglycans and (GAGs) trap and hold water, forming a dense fluid cushion within the joint for lubrication and shock absorption. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a natural source of organic sulfur, a mineral necessary for the production of proteoglycans. Protocol For Life Balance(TM) synergistic formula supports healthy joint structure and function. Unlike most Glucosamine products, Vegetarian Glucosamine & MSM is suitable for vegetarians because it contains only vegetarian sourced Glucosamine.
