EMER'GEN-C PWR FOR JOINTS 36/P

Details

Dietary supplement. 500 mg glucosamine & 400 mg chondroitin. 1000 mg Vitamin C as seven mineral ascorbates. When used as a dietary supplement, glucosamine and chondroitin appear to have a positive effect on the management of healthy cartilage and joint function. With the additional benefit of Vitamin C as mineral ascorbates, I highly recommend Emergen-C Joint Health Formula as the preferred supplement for persons wishing to maintain healthy joint structures and cartilage tissues. Frederic G. Nicola, M.D., Chief of Orthopedic Surgery Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA. Emergen-C is so much more than just Vitamin C! The foundation of Emergen-C is built on seven mineral ascorbates. These mineral ascorbates of potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, chromium and zinc provide your body with 1,000 mg of vital, life-sustaining Vitamin C in a non-acidic, stomach-friendly formula. Unlike ordinary Vitamin C supplements, Emergen-C also has a total of 32 active mineral complexes along with key B Vitamins. All combined, Emergen-C is a potent blend of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients that support healthy metabolic function. Vitamin C: Plays an important role in the production of collagen, the main constituent of cartilage in joints, which is necessary to keep joints healthy and flexible. Glucosamine: Plays a key role in rebuilding the cartilage necessary for joint health and flexibility. Stimulates production of glycosaminoglycans, structural components of cartilage. Chondroitin: Helps flexibility of the joints by hydrating cartilage tissue. Also, protects against free radical damage and blocks enzymes that inhibit the rebuilding of cartilage.
