Glucosamine is an essential substrate for the formation of glycoaminoglycans (GAG's) and proteoglycans, which are the main components of cartilage tissue. GAG's and proteoglycans trap and hold water, forming a dense fluid cushion within the joint and thus, provide lubrication and shock absorption. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural source of organic sulfur, a mineral necessary for the production of proteoglycans.

1500 mgs. controls the progress of arthritis in my hands...if I quit taking it, after 2 weeks I start to feel symptoms of arthritis. I was told about this product by a nurse in my ski club, who took it and gave it to her husband and old dog to control arthritis. It worked for them and it works for me.
This form is better absorbed than some others.
MSM is an added plus for the joints, according to other friends who take it.

I've been using Now Veg. MSM & Glucosamine for some years. This was the first time I ordered it from Well, and was pleasantly surprised to find a better price here--with no shipping charges, as elsewhere; and fine service. I find the product helpful for joint pain reduction & increased joint mobility, though I limit myself to one capsule/day, as I find two capsules at once to cause me stomach upset--and then, I'd never remember to take one later in the same day!

I purchased this product for my husband who has been taking Glucosamine for several years. He finds it very helpful for flexibility and it helps reduce the joint pain he has experienced since his mid040's. He has a shellfish allergy and needs a vegetarian version of Glucosamine. He has had difficulty finding a reliable supplier of this produce in our local community. I was so pleased to find it on Well.ca and promptly ordered it for him. He is taking it regularly again and is relieved to know that his "quest" for a supplier is over. A great product -- thanks well.ca!
