(Health-NewsWire.Net, August 12, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM are three separate natural ingredients that are sold individually or combined. They are typically marketed for joint health and pain relief. While these ingredients are widely used, not many people are truly aware of the therapeutic benefits they offer.
Studies reveal the benefits of glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM. Arthritic conditions, such as osteoarthritis, often result in achy, stiff joints. These substances are believed to provide anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving benefits, whether they are taken together or individually.
"Many of the best glucosamine supplements on the market today also contain natural ingredients such as chondroitin and MSM," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Chondroitin is the cartilage's major constituent. The cartilage is the body's connective tissue that helps cushion the joints and protects the bones from friction or from rubbing each other. Chondroitin works by absorbing fluids such as water to help the cartilage stay healthy and hydrated. It is even used as a supplement as a great remedy for osteoarthritis.
MSM can be described as a sulfur-containing compound that provides support to the tendons and muscles. It also offers pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory benefits. In one study, researchers tried to determine whether MSM works to help with knee osteoarthritis alone or in combination with glucosamine. There were 118 adults who suffered from mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis in the study. They were instructed to take MSM and glucosamine together or individually for 12 weeks. Researchers found that the two ingredients have helped provide relief for knee osteoarthritis, and the combination of the two has produced even better results.
"Arthritis sufferers who use glucosamine supplements that also contain MSM and chondroitin have reported significant improvements in their condition," added O'Sullivan.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, glucosamine is naturally produced by the body and plays an important role in joint health. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties that are believed to help provide relief of osteoarthritis pain. There were studies that showed glucosamine could help provide pain relief, but there is also some research that found it can potentially help repair the cartilage.
Experts believe that using a combination of the three ingredients can help support joint health, as well as reduce osteoarthritis pain and inflammatory joint problems. Today, many glucosamine supplements are available on the market. The most reliable ones are glucosamine supplements that do not only contain MSM and chondroitin, but also turmeric. Turmeric is another natural ingredient that is believed to have very powerful therapeutic properties (http://amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
