Vital Joint & Ligaments Caps 30

Vital Joint and Ligaments combines the three best-known joint nutrients in one capsule. It is aimed at adults with early wear-and-tear in the knees, hips or hands, and at runners, cyclists and gym-goers who want to protect their joints. Joint supplements are slow acting, so give it eight to twelve weeks. Glucosamine and chondroitin are the building blocks of cartilage and joint fluid. Taken daily, they help maintain the cushioning between bones and have been shown to ease stiffness in knees and hips over two to three months. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) supplies organic sulphur, which is needed to form connective tissue, and has anti-inflammatory activity that eases joint and muscle soreness.

Cartilage has no blood supply of its own and repairs very slowly, so it needs a steady supply of building blocks. Knees that ache on stairs, stiffness when you get up in the morning and joints that protest after sport are signs of cartilage wear, which starts earlier than most people expect.
