Action

Vitamin C

250 mg

As an antioxidant, Vitamin C helps prevent free-radical damage that contributes to aging (and aging-related diseases), cancer and cardiovascular disease. It also appears to be involved in maintaining a healthy immune system, including wound healing. It is required for tissue growth and repair, adrenal gland function, and healthy gums. It aids in the production of anti-stress hormones and interferon.

Glucosamine SO4 KCL

1000 mg

Glucosamine is involved in the formation of the nails, tendons, skin, eyes, bones, ligaments and heart valves. Supplemental glucosamine can be helpful for arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and osteoporosis.

MSM

500 mg

MSM helps provide pain relief by supplying the body with sulfur. Sulfur is necessary for the body to make collagen, which helps to make up cartilage and connective tissue. MSM is also thought to have strong anti-inflammatory properties and is therefore useful in both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. MSM is most effective when combined with a good multivitamin and an antioxidant supplement.

Chondroitin Sulfate 90 (BSE Certified)

300 mg

Chondroitin Sulfate is a chemical that is found in cartilage around joints in the body. It is one of the building blocks of cartilage, and helps to slow the degeneration of cartilage in osteoarthritis. It is also helpful in reducing pain associated with arthritis.

Centella Asiatica 10% (Gotu Kola)

100 mg

Centella is important in maintaining a healthy microcirculation, especially in the kidneys and eyes. It can reduce fatigue and improve memory. It is thought to be especially helpful in reducing varicose veins. Some research indicates that Centella can enhance immune function and help maintain GI tract health.

Bromelain 2400

100 mg

Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple juice. It appears to be effective in reducing swelling through its anti-inflammatory properties. It may also be useful in the treatment of arthritis.

Tumeric Extract 95%

250 mg

Tumeric has antibiotic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is also thought to protect the liver against toxins and lowers cholesterol.
