Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a precursor for numerous substances that provide the foundation for many of the body's tissues such as: tendons, ligaments, cartilage, collagen and more. Glucosamine supports the health of tissues that make up many of the body's organs. It is a very popular ingredient in oral nutritional supplements.
Boswellia Serrata
Boswellia or Indian frankincense is an ayurvedic herb that is used traditionally to support the treatment of arthritis, ulcerative colitis, sores, and asthma. The major components are boswellic acid and alpha-boswellic acid. Animal studies show that boswellic acid is a potent 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor that has anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. It is a very popular ingredient in high end oral nutritional supplements.
MSM
MSM is a natural sulfur-containing compound that is produced in the human body. MSM occurs naturally in foods we consume, but even moderate food processing destroys most of it. MSM provides a very important source of sulfur, which plants, animals and humans need for many processes. It is a very popular ingredient in many oral nutritional supplements.
Curcumin
Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and choleretic action. The anti-inflammatory action is believed to be due to leukotriene inhibition. Its curcuminoids (curcumin) and volatile oil are both partly responsible for the anti-inflammatory activity. Curcuminoids induce glutathione S-transferase and are potent inhibitors of cytochrome P450. Turmeric acts as a free radical scavenger and antioxidant, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage. It is a very popular ingredient in oral nutritional supplements.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a natural anti-oxidant that the body uses to neutralize free radicals.
