Description

Ultimate Nutrition's Joint Renew features a blend of potent nutrients including glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane), gelatin, boron and vitamin C. This natural formula protects and supports joints and enhances joint repair. Joint Renew was specifically formulated to help prevent the wear and tear of joints in active athletes and in aging individuals.

Joint cartilage is composed of mucopolysaccharides (such as chondroitin), sulfur, calcium, proteins and collagen. Glucosamine and chondroitin are made of specialized molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs are found in cartilage, where they provide structure or "filler" in the extracellular matrix of collagen.

Glucosamine and chondroitin stimulate the production of synovial fluid in the joints, helping cushion and lubricate joints. MSM is a rich source of sulfur necessary for the formation of joint cartilage. Bovine gelatin is a form of collagen that is derived from cows. Gelatin promotes the health of cartilage and tendon and supports soft tissue repair.

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that can enhance MSM's beneficial effects. Researchers report that clinical improvements are often seen within 2 days to 3 weeks. Boron is a trace mineral that functions synergistically with vitamin C, glucosamine, gelatin and MSM to support joint health.
