GLUCOSAMINE+CHONDROITIN+CURCUMIN+METHYL SULFONYL METHANE
About
GLUCOSAMINE+CHONDROITIN+CURCUMIN+METHYL SULFONYL METHANE is a combination medicine used to treat osteoarthritis, inflammatory joint disorders, and muscle damage caused by exercise. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. This causes discomfort, pain, stiffness and soreness in the joints.
GLUCOSAMINE+CHONDROITIN+CURCUMIN+METHYL SULFONYL METHANE contains Glucosamine, chondroitin, curcumin, and methyl sulfonyl methane. Glucosamine helps develop and renew cartilage and keeps the joints lubricated for better flexibility and movement. Chondroitin helps maintain fluid and flexibility in the joints. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties. Methylsulfonylmethane helps support tendons and muscles. Together, GLUCOSAMINE+CHONDROITIN+CURCUMIN+METHYL SULFONYL METHANE helps treat osteoarthritis.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, inflammation, stiffness, and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age; the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries.
