Vegetarian and kosher! How Does NSI Vegetarian Glucosamine & MSM Work? Glucosamine is a monosaccharide or simple sugar that's naturally produced by the body. It's an important component of connective tissues, including joint cartilage, helping to form a protective "cushioning" layer between bones. Both aging and heavy participation in impact-sports can contribute to degradation of cartilage over time. Glucosamine supplementation may help stimulate the synthesis of proteoglycans, which are the primary building blocks of cartilage. MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is the natural form of organic sulfur found in the tissues of all living organisms and the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. It makes cell walls permeable, so water and nutrients flow in freely, while waste and toxins flow out. MSM plays a part in the body's creation of new cells, and also helps connective tissue absorb fluid to cushion the shock of movement and activity. It's important for the support and maintenance of joint function and may also help with healthy skin, digestion, respiratory and circulation. NSI Vegetarian Glucosamine & MSM contains Regenasure®, the only commercially-available non-shellfish-derived glucosamine. While glucosamine is normally extracted from shells of crustaceans such as crab, lobster, and shrimp, Regenasure® glucosamine is corn-based and can be consumed by vegetarians and individuals with shellfish allergies. It also contains OptiMSM®, a high-quality, distilled MSM that's manufactured in the U.S. and is non-toxic, non-allergenic, and third-party tested to ensure 99.9 percent purity. OptiMSM® has been shown in studies to benefit multiple structures and functions in the body, including connective tissue and the respiratory system, while supporting a healthy, active lifestyle.
