NB JOINT SUPPORT COMPLEX CAP (90S)

The mechanism of action of Glucosamine, MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) Ointment primarily involves its key components, glucosamine and MSM. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, essential components of joint cartilage. When applied topically, glucosamine may help support the health of connective tissues, potentially aiding in joint comfort and flexibility. MSM, another natural compound, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It can help reduce inflammation and provide relief from joint discomfort. MSM may also contribute to overall skin health and promote tissue repair. The combination of glucosamine and MSM in the ointment is believed to work synergistically, providing a dual approach to supporting joint and connective tissue health by addressing both cartilage maintenance and inflammation management.
