Joint supplements have long provided Chondroitan sulfate and Glucosamine sulfate, which are factors the body uses to build cartilage. To these factors, OptiJoint adds MSM and a very special source of bioactive collagen. Opti Joint® contains nutrients like SAMe that in addition will help reduce inflammation and may aid in reducing pain in joints. Glucosamine Sulfate is a stable, clinically studied form of glucosamine, which is the fundamental building block required for the synthesis of connective tissue subunits (glycosaminoglycans). Glucosamine is an essential building block of proteoglycans, hyaluronic acid (a component of joint lubrication) and glycolipids, and it is essential for the proper formation of tendons, ligaments, synovial fluid, bones, skin, nails, and blood vessels.* Opti Joint® glucosamine is naturally watersoluble, and low in molecular weight, thereby offering rapid and high absorption (over 90%). MSM is a sulfur donor; sulfur is essential for the formation of chondroitin sulfates.* Vitamin C and manganese are required for synthesis of collagen and cartilage.* People with osteoarthritis are often deficient in Vitamin D3.* SAMe is a distinct form of the amino acid methionine. In clinical studies, SAMe has been found to stimulate the production of GAGs (Glycosaminoglycans), important components of connective tissue. Dozens of clinical studies have demonstrated that SAMe supports joint comfort, function and mobility in the spine, hips and knees. It is important to the joints because of its critical role in cartilage formation. * Turmeric, the bright yellow spice herb, has been shown to be a natural COX-2 inhibitor. Cyclo-oxygenase 1 and 2 (COX-1 and COX-2) are enzymes which convert essential fatty acids (especially Omega-6) to prostaglandins. Although the body requires prostaglandins, these intracellular messengers are found at excessively high levels at sites of inflammation. |  Supplement Facts | | Serving Size | 4 Capsules | | Servings per container | 30 Servings | | Vitamin C | 120mg | | Calcium Citrate | 100mg | | Glucosamine HCL | 1500mg | | Chondroitin Sulfate | 500mg | | MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) | 500mg | | Quercitin | 50mg | | SAMe | 100mg | Zinc | 15mg | | HCP (hydrolzyed collagen protein) | 250mg | | Turmeric Extract | 50mg | Ingredients | | Gelatin (capsule) and magnesium stearate (less than 2mg per capsule). | Usage | | As a dietary supplement take 4 capsules (4 capsules is 1 serving) per day, with meals or as directed by your qualified health care consultant. | | There are no current reviews | Get it shipped right away | | UPS Ground 1 lb - 19 lbs delivers usually within 1-5 business days | $6.99 *Flat rate | | UPS Ground 19 lbs - 29 lbs delivers usually within 1-5 business days | $9.99 *Flate rate | | UPS 3 Day Service delivers usually within 1-3 business days | $9.99 - $29.99 determined at checkout | | UPS Next Day Air delivers usually next business day | $24.99 - $69.99 determined at checkout | | USPS Priority Mail for Military, PO Boxes and Alaska, Hawaii | $10.99 - $39.99 determined at checkout | | Delivery times are estimates, and are not meant to be a guarantee.
