Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM with OptiMSM
What is Doctor’s Best Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM featuring OptiMSM?
Doctor’s Best Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM featuring OptiMSM supports joint structure, function and comfort. It is a potent combination of three clinically proven, purified ingredients that help the body manufacture proteoglycans in healthy joints. Proteoglycans contribute to the maintenance of sound joint structure, ultimately enhancing healthy joint function.
Glucosamine sulfate is extracted from chitin, a long-chain polymer consisting of many glucosamine molecules linked together. Chitin forms structural frameworks in many living things, including aquatic crustaceans. Doctor’s Best glucosamine is purified and then sulfated and stabilized with potassium chloride. It is processed to remove residues of protein and impurities, yielding pure glucosamine sulfate as the final material. Chondroitin sulfate is a chemical in cartilage around joints in the body.
Chondroitin sulfate is manufactured from bovine cartilage. Doctor’s Best uses chondroitin sulfate with a purity of 90 percent or greater. Quality assurance testing is performed using sophisticated laboratory analytical methods.
MSM is an excellent dietary source of bioavailable natural sulfur. Doctor’s Best MSM features OptiMSM, a highly purified form (99.9% pure) of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). Since the amount of MSM found naturally in living materials is too small to be extracted, the MSM used for dietary supplements is synthesized. The makers of OptiMSM developed a four-stage process to separate impurities including heavy metals and other contaminants and is 99.9% pure MSM. Each batch exceeds the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) monograph standards for MSM, and is validated by testing in independent laboratories.
How does it work?
Articular cartilage is a connective tissue composed of specialized cells (chondrocytes) embedded in a matrix of protein fibers (mostly collagen) and clusters of complex proteoglycan molecules that consist of a protein core with numerous side chains. These side chains, chiefly chondroitin sulfate and keratin sulfate, are long polysaccharide molecules called glycosaminoglycans.
Chondroitin sulfate and the other glycosaminoglycans strongly attract water due to the negative charges of their sulfate groups. These negative charges also repel each other, creating spaces between glycosaminoglycan side chains where water can enter. This combination of solid and liquid gives joints a compressible qualitywhich may ultimately enhance healthy joint function.
Glucosamine is a fundamental building block for proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. Glucosamine sulfate (GS) helps to maintain joint health through its ability to both act as a component of and stimulate formation of glycosaminoglycans and the hyaluronic acid backbone essential for the formation of proteoglycans.
MSM contains two oxygen atoms and two methyl groups bound to a sulfur atom. As it donates its methyl groups, MSM enables important metabolic functions, including energy transduction and enzyme regulation. MSM’s use in joint stems from its natural sulfur support of the disulfide bonds that reinforce collagen fibers, a property that’s believed to promote joint integrity and resilience.
Why should I take Doctor’s Best Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM featuring OptiMSM?
Healthy joints may get worn away by sports injuries, overuse, or wear-and-tear that can cause joint pain. Glucosamine helps stimulate the manufacture of proteoglycans in healthy joints. Chondroitin is a component of healthy joints that attracts water to the tissue, which helps the joint stay elastic and function as a shock absorber for joints. MSM is a natural sulfur to help form antioxidants and serve as a key structural nutrient in healthy joints and may help to give shape, strength and support to other tissues within the body. This combination of ingredients has been proven to support joint structure, function and comfort.

I have been using this vitamin for over 3 months. Before I started using this product, I had problems in my job and in my life. For example: food digestion was not good due to bad habits and I could not sleep properly. My problem no longer affected me after I started taking vitamins, as better overall health came out of it.

have been using this vitamin for several months now and have noticed a marked improvement in my energy levels and overall health. I had no idea exactly what it was, but when I bought it, I discovered that it was an extract from various botanical sources. The effects are noticeable immediately, but I don’t see any adverse side effects. Also the results seem

This remedy is designed to keep your joints healthy by providing substances that help strengthen bones and improve joint flexibility. These are chondroitin and glucosamine. The advantage of this product is their balance, as well as the addition of Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). MSM is essential for maintaining healthy joints and skin by providing sulfur to the body. In my opinion, the best choice in terms of cost savings is the 360 capsule package.

I notice a difference on my joints when I use this product, although it takes your body a week to two weeks to accumulate in the body.

This is the 3rd time I buy again. My mother suffers from arthritis and joint pain due to her age. A mover last year, she underwent hip replacement surgery. After the operation, my mother has movement problems. She still has bad knees and can barely walk. But after using this supplement for a week, she can feel the difference with less pain around her knees. After using it for almost 6 months, now even better as she doesn’t have to worry about pain. She can shop without worry. This supplement has a good combination and the quality is good. No price with an affordable price. I highly recommend it. Try.

I am a musician and decided to take the supplement. My girlfriend called me the next morning and told me how much prettier I looked. And then she asked me what kind of medicine I was taking and she said it smelled much better here than before!

I am 70+ years old and for many years I used a glucosamine chondroitin supplement faithfully to help my aging osteoarthritic joints. When Ecosupplements was out of stock of my usual supplement, I switched to this formulation and found that it seems to be helping with my discomfort better than the simpler formula! It must be what I needed for improvement in cartilage and connective tissue, and the added ingredients may support better absorption and utilization. I have less stiffness upon waking in the morning and enjoy more mobility with less pain during the day.

I have a great number of food allergies and sensitivities. I had discontinued looking for Glucosamine and Chondroitin for a number of years because the products I tried resulted in a sinus reaction. Fortunately for me, Doctor’s Best Glocosamine Chondroitin MSM poses no problems whatsoever, even though this product does contain shells from crab and shrimp. I do have problems with most fish – perhaps I can eat shell fish! Nevertheless, I have been using this product for a few months now with only good results! Hence, I totally recommend it, unless you do have known problems with shell fish. I am grateful there is no soy in it, as that appears to what causes me sinus problems. It is gluten free, soy free, and non-GMO.

was 47 when I started feeling stiffness in my finger joints when I woke up. At 48 my elbow joints would also be stiff with a bit of pain (upon waking) when I sleep in a certain position. Sometimes I feel slight pain in my knee as well after some activity. I did some research, read reviews and so decided to try chondroitin glucosamine with msm. Bought in April 2022 and today I decided to write a review. I felt an improvement with these ingredients. I started with 2 capsules a day then 1 capsule a day. I no longer wake up with stiff joints or knee pain. Hopefully the benefits happen internally, as it’s supposed to – improving cartilage and connective tissues. I am going to order my second bottle, because I have noticed that if I stop for a long time, the symptoms come back. I hope this review will also help you in your decision.

This product really works. I can tell if I’ve missed a couple of days as stiffness and soreness in the joints returns!!!
