Description

Vitalabs' Joint Matrix features a potent blend of joint-supporting nutrients including glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane), boron histidine, shark cartilage and green lipped sea mussel (Perna canaliculus). This high performance complex helps promote joint health and function. Joint Matrix is specifically formulated to help relieve arthritis and joint problems.

Glucosamine, chondroitin, shark cartilage, and green lipped sea mussel are a natural source of specialized molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs provide structure or "filler" in the extracellular matrix of joint collagen. They 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. Boron is a trace mineral that functions synergistically with MSM and glucosamine to support joint health. Histidine is a conditional essential amino acid (protein building block) that can become essential if demand exceeds the body's ability to produce it. Rheumatoid arthritis patients have low levels of histidine. Preliminary research suggests histidine may improve arthritis symptoms.
