  • What is Glucosamine & MSM?
    NOW® Glucosamine & MSM with Chondroitin Sulfate combines three well-known joint support ingredients. Glucosamine is an essential building block for the formation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans, the main components of cartilage tissue. These compounds promote water retention within the joint, giving it resiliency by acting as a lubricant and a means to absorb shock. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic form of sulfur, a mineral necessary for the production of GAGs and proteoglycans. NOW Foods developed the glucosamine test method chosen as the official AOACI industry standard method. Natural colour variation may occur in this product.

  • What is Glycine?
    Glycine is the smallest and simplest amino acid, making it versatile for use in a wide range of functions. Glycine is necessary for the production of glutathione, DNA, creatine, bile, haemoglobin, and most proteins. It also helps to promote glycogen storage, thereby making glucose readily available for energy production. Glycine also functions as a calming neurotransmitter in the brain, where it facilitates nerve impulses and is important for the maintenance of healthy sleep patterns.

  • What is Glycine?
    Glycine is a non-essential amino acid and has the simplest structure of all amino acids, allowing it to fit easily within protein chains and make space for structurally larger amino acids. This feature makes it very important for specific bodily functions. Glycine is also a precursor of creatine, which is used to construct DNA and RNA. And it supports glycogen storage, thereby making more glucose available for energy production. The amino acid glycine is non-chiral and only has one form without a D- or L- designation.
