Glucosamine+methyl Sulfonyl Methane
About Glucosamine+methyl Sulfonyl Methane
Glucosamine+methyl Sulfonyl Methane is used to reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints caused by osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where the breakdown of a protective cartilage covering causes two ends of the joints to come together. Due to the lack of this protective covering, the joints rub against one another, leading to pain and stiffness.
Glucosamine+methyl Sulfonyl Methane is a combination of Glucosamine and Methylsulfonylmethane. Glucosamine stimulates the formation and repair of the cartilage (the hard connective tissue that protects bones and joints). It improves joint flexibility and movement. Thus, reduces swelling and pain in the joints. Methylsulfonylmethane plays a key role in making glucosamine and collagen, which are essential for healthy joints and bones, and in immunoglobulins production that helps the immune system.
Take Glucosamine+methyl Sulfonyl Methane as advised by your doctor.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease where the breakdown of a protective cartilage covering causes two ends of the joints to rub together. Due to the lack of this protective covering, the joints rub against one another, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age; the older you are, the more likely you are to get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints, and ligament injuries.
