Rejuvenis Glucosamine & Chondroitin plus MSM

• Fast Acting Joint Support*

• Dietary Supplement with a Great Citrus Taste
  

Rejuvenis Liquid Glucosamine & Chondroitin with MSM combines three of the most effective nutrients available today for supporting good joint health in an easily absorbed liquid form. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are naturally occurring structural components that are used by the body to support healthy joint function. MSM, Manganese and Vitamin C complement Glucosamine and Chondroitin and work with them to provide optimal nutritional support.*

 Glucosamine is a monosaccharide derived from glucose and glutamine (an amino acid). It is used to produce substances in the body that attract and bind water into tissues, making them more resilient. It is especially important to maintain properly functioning joint structures.

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a major component of our cartilage that helps cushion our joints. It is believed to provide structure, hold water and nutrients, and promote elasticity in cartilage. It also appears to inhibit the enzymes that can destroy cartilage tissue. These properties have made Chondroitin Sulfate a popular dietary supplement for people seeking to nourish their joint tissues. Our cell communicator product, Rejuvenis polysaccharide powder is a wonderful combination supplement with Rejuvenis Liquid Glucosamine & Chondroitin with MSM.

MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane) is a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms.  This natural compound, researched since 1979, provides the chemical links needed to form and maintain numerous different types of tissues found in the human body, including connective tissue such as articular cartilage.

There is promising evidence that Glucosamine may reduce pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis. For example, a study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine examined people with osteoarthritis over three years. Researchers assessed pain and structural improvements seen on x-ray. They gave 202 people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis 1,500 mg of Glucosamine sulfate a day or a placebo.

At the end of the study, researchers found that Glucosamine slowed the progression of knee osteoarthritis compared to the placebo. People in the Glucosamine group had a significant reduction in pain and stiffness. On x-ray, there was no average change or narrowing of joint spaces in the knees (a sign of deterioration) of the Glucosamine group. In contrast, joint spaces of participants taking the placebo narrowed over the three years.  There is promising evidence that glucosamine may reduce pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis. 

 Chondroitin Sulfate study 

Department of Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital, Carl Gustav Carus, Fetscherstrasse 74, 01307 Dresden, Germany. schneidersw@gmx.de Chondroitin sulphate (CS) has an anti-inflammatory effect and increases the regeneration ability of injured bone. The goal of this study was to characterize the material properties and osteoconductive potency of calcium phosphate bone cements modified with CS. The early interface reaction of cancellous bone to a nanokristalline hydroxyapatite cement containing type I collagen (HA/Coll) without and with CS (HA/Coll/CS) in a rat tibia model  was evaluated. Cylindrical implants were inserted press-fit into defect of the tibial head. Six specimens per group were analyzed at 2, 4, 7, 14, and 28 days. HA/Coll/CS composite cylinders showed a 15% increase in strength and by investigations with powder X-ray diffraction more non transformed cement  precursor was found. The microstructures of both types of implants were similar. A significantly higher average number of TRAP positive osteoclasts and ED1 positive mononuclear cells were observed in the interface around HA/Coll/CS implants on day 4 and 7 (p < 0.05).  At 28 days the direct bone contact and the percentage of newly formed bone were significantly higher around HA/Coll/CS implants (p < 0.05).  The addition of CS appears to enhance bone remodeling and new bone formation around HA/Coll composites in the early stages of bone healing. Possible mechanisms are discussed.  Copyright 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
