Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM
Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are components of normal cartilage. They are the building blocks for proteoglycans and stimulate chondrocytes to make new collagen and proteoglycans. Because these supplements stimulate the production of new cartilage components, the supplements may be able to help the body repair damaged cartilage. There is evidence from patients that Glucosamine and Chondroitin can reduce pain from osteoarthritis, usually within several weeks to months after initiating therapy. MSM has shown benefits for a range of health problems including arthritis, muscle and joint pain. MSM has shown promise in the inhibition of pain impulses along nerve fibers, (analgesia), lessening of inflammation, increasing blood supply, reducing muscle spasms, and softening of scar tissue.
Additional Information:
Glucosamine: Glucosamine occurs naturally in the body. It helps make cartilage stronger and more rigid. Glucosamine supplements typically are made from a protein found in the shells of shrimp, crab and other shell fish. Some research shows that glucosamine supplements relieve pain in some people with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. It is associated with a breakdown of cartilage in joints and commonly occurs in the hips, knees and spine. It also often affects the finger joints, the joint at the base of the thumb, and the joint at the base of the big toe.
Chondroitin:Chondroitin is believed to enhance the shock-absorbing properties of collagen and block enzymes that break down cartilage. Studies are being done to evaluate the ability of chondroitin to reverse cartilage loss. It generally takes two to four months to work completely.
Two large studies that evaluated data from about a dozen studies showed significant improvement in pain and inflammation and improved joint function. Some people taking chondroitin are able to decrease NSAID dosage.

In an international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 309 patients with knee osteoarthritis were given 800 mg chondroitin sulfate daily and 313 patients were given a placebo daily. The study lasted two (2) years and was monitored to detect joint space width (JSW). The results were "a significant reduction in minimum JSW loss in the chondroitin sulfate group compared with the placebo group (28% versus 41%)." Also, "pain improved significantly faster in the chondroitin sulfate group than in the placebo group." The researchers concluded that "long-term combined structure-modifying and symptom-modifying effects of chondroitin sulfate suggest that it could be a disease-modifying agent in patients with knee osteoarthritis."
MSM: Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound containing sulfur and methyl groups. It is found in the normal diets of humans and almost all other animals. MSM is made up of 34% sulfur, the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body.
MSM has shown benefits for a range of health problems including arthritis, muscle and joint pain. MSM has shown promise in the inhibition of pain impulses along nerve fibers, (analgesia), lessening of inflammation, increasing blood supply, reducing muscle spasms, and softening of scar tissue. MSM supports healthy, active lifestyles and benefits multiple structures and functions within the body, including connective tissues and the respiratory system while the methyl groups support energy production.
Study Shows Lignisul MSM Improves Recovery, Reduces Office Visits for Athletic Injuries
A recent preliminary study showed that people suffering from sprains, strains, and athletic injuries may benefit from the use of LIGNISULMSM (Methylsulfonyl-methane), a natural nutritional supplement that supplies biologically-active sulfur.
The double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 24 patients (both male and female), showed that those taking Lignisul MSM had a level of significant recovery (58%) compared to those on placebo (33.3%). In addition, patients on Lignisul MSM had 40% fewer office visits before recovery.
MSM should be considered an invaluable addition for the treatment of short-term athletic injuries of the type that were involved in this study, said Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D. From an economic point of view, we were particularly gratified to see a marked reduction in the number of offices visits usually required to treat these injuries.
Lawrence was assisted in the study by Daniel Sanchez, D.C., C.C.S.P, and Mark Grosman, D.C. who operate a clinical practice that deals with a large number of athletic injuries. The 24 subjects were selected from among their patients and examined in their clinic.
All subjects were divided in a random fashion into two groups of twelve, A and B. Each group received unmarked capsules of either a placebo or Lignisul MSM. The Doctors and patients involved were not a privy as to whether they received a placebo or actual MSM. All patients were treated with a similar therapy which included routine chiropractic manipulation, ultrasound and muscle stimulation at each visit.
Of the twelve patients who received the placebo, four graded their results as excellent or good, while of the twelve patients on MSM, seven of the twelve graded their symptom reduction as excellent or good. Of greater significance, however was the fact that patients on MSM had 3.25 visits on average, while those on the placebo had 5, 5.25.
A previous study conducted by Lawrence indicated that Lignisul MSM may offer a safe, non-toxic way to help ease the pain of arthritis.
SOME CUSTOMER COMMENTS:
"Just wanted to let you know that about 4 years ago, my knees were really bad. I couldn't even walk without pain. Sports, running, etc. were out of the question. After visiting my doctor at the V.A. hospital many times all he could tell me is that "...operating may or may not help your knees. Other than that, there isn't anything that can be done. But, have you ever tried glucosamine, chondroitin, or MSM?". I hadn't and to make a long story short, I am now pain free. I play tennis, golf, go for long walks, etc. I can even jump up and down without pain. I have been taking this combination every day since then and am thankful that you offer a capsule form of these ingredients because I hate tablets!" WCK USA"At 46 years old and running daily in the foot hills on steep inclines, my knees eventually ran out. Hurt like hell so that I couldn't jog anymore even on soft strait runs. I tried knee braces, new high tech shoes, etc. but nothing worked. After a half mile or a mile, my knees would hurt so badly that I had to stop. I thought that my lifelong hobby of running was over but decided to try supplements. I went to a health food store and they recommended a glucosamine and chondroitin combination plus an MSM supplement. It's now been 2 years and I have been taking them ever since. I've been taking your product for about a year now and it seems to be just the right combination for me. It's hard to remember the pain because I just plain don't have it anymore. Run, sprint, snowboard, surf, play soccer, basketball, everything. I think that someday even prescription drug junkie doctors will understand how well these natural products work....if they don't already." TJ
