Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is Glucosamine?
A: Glucosamine is an amino saccharide that occurs naturally in the body. Glucosamine is used by the body as a precursor for cartilage synthesis. Glucosamine is also necessary to keep cartilage tissue lubricated and maintain its naturally slippery texture.* Happy Joints products utilize Glucosamine HCl, which has been found in clinical studies to support joint comfort, mobility and flexibility.* Glucosamine HCL is superior to other forms of Glucosamine like Glucosamine Sulfate which is not as pure, has added sodium, and is not as stable.
Q: What is Chondroitin Sulfate?
A: Chondroitin Sulfates are long chains of sugar units which help attract and hold fluid into the cartilage. Chondroitin Sulfate also promotes cartilage renewal.* Chondroitin has been found in clinical studies to help maintain joint space and to promote mobility and flexibility.*
Q: What is MSM(Methyl Sulfonyl Methane)?
A: Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM, or dimethylsulfone) is an organic Sulfur compound. It occurs naturally in some primitive plants and is present in small amounts in many foods and beverages.
MSM is also known as dimethylsulfone, or DMSO2, a name that reflects its close chemical relationship to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which differs only in the oxidation state of the sulfur atom. MSM is the primary metabolite of DMSO in humans, and it shares some of the properties of DMSO.
Q: Is a capsule better than a tablet?
A: absolutely, especially when dealing with these ingredients. When making a tablet the ingredients are compacted with great force to get them stay together. Esentially turning the product into a rock. Sometimes the product dissolves, sometimes it doesn't. With a capsule the powders are contained loosely in a gelatin shell, when the shell dissolves the powder is dispersed allowing for better absorption.
