Joint-Support Formula

Supporting Healthy Joint Function†

DESCRIPTION

Joint-Support Formula, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, is a unique and comprehensive combination of natural ingredients, including glucosamine sulfate, shark cartilage, and bromelain, carefully formulated and specifically designed to support joint health and comfort.†

FUNCTIONS

Joint-Support Formula offers intensive support for the maintenance of joint health and comfort. † Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar found in glycosoaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides), integral components of the proteoglycans found in joint cartilage. Proteoglycans are large carbohydrate-rich structures that provide resiliency, load distribution, shock-absorbing, compressive and lubricating properties to joints and connective tissues.† Dietary glucosamine serves as an immediate precursor for glycosaminoglycan synthesis, and also stimulates incorporation of other precursors into the connective tissue matrix. The availability of glucosamine is an integral part of the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans that are necessary during the constant remodeling that normal aging cartilage undergoes. Thus, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans may support the maintenance of healthy aging cartilage.†

Joint-Support Formula also includes oral glucosamine, which is highly bioavailable. It is absorbed intact, and utilized very quickly by all tissues, including connective tissues. Glucosamine sulfate is more efficiently used for connective tissue metabolism than other glucosamine sources, such as cartilage extracts or chondroitin sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate is a well-recognized, highly effective source of glucosamine for glycosaminoglycan and proteoglycan synthesis in all connective tissues, such as cartilage, ligaments, tendons, skin, and bone.†

Bromelain, a protease from the pineapple plant, provides support for the musculoskeletal system.† Other herbs in Joint-Support Formula such as licorice, feverfew, devil’s claw, and turmeric, also provide support for normal physiological processes. †

INDICATIONS

Joint-Support Formula may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to support joint health and comfort.†
