Chondroitin is an important element in the creation of cartilage, the tough flexible tissue found in joints. Chondroitin attracts water to the proteoglycans and holds it there, which is important for maintaining healthy joint cartilage.
Glucosamine has been proven in over 300 studies to actually build joint cartilage. It can also slightly reduce the destruction of cartilage and depression caused by taking anti-inflammatory drugs, which are commonly prescribed for people with arthritis. Glucosamine may be taken in conjunction with condroitin for a greater effect.
MSM has remarkable therapeutic properties, especially for the healing of injuries. MSM helps to relieve pain and inflammation, nourish hair, skin and nails, reduce allergy problems and promote gastrointestinal health.
