Joint Support Nutrients goes beyond simple glucosamine supplementation. It adds nutrients to provide relief from occasional soreness and stiffness.
Joint Support Nutrients combines the preeminent joint support ingredient, glucosamine, with other nutrients and botanicals that also support joint health. Glucosamine demonstrates significant joint support. Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) also helps support joint integrity and mobility. Bromelain promotes healing after trauma.
Thorne's Meriva® ingredient – curcumin bound to phospholipids – and boswellia both exert an antioxidant effect and help maintain a healthy cytokine balance (for a normal inflammatory response) in the joints and muscles. Joint Support Nutrients combine all of these ingredients in a single comprehensive joint support supplement.
Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) – also known as dimethyl sulfone and methyl sulfone – is an organic, sulfur-containing compound that occurs naturally in a variety of plants and provides additional joint support.
Curcumin, the principal polyphenol in the Asian spice turmeric, exerts an antioxidant effect. Curcumin phytosome (Meriva®), a compound that contains curcumin and phosphatidylcholine, has significantly better absorption than ordinary curcumin and helps maintain a healthy cytokine balance throughout the body.
Boswellia appears to inhibit the activity of the lipoxygenase enzymes, thus promoting a healthy cytokine balance throughout the body.

Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.

This is an excellent supplement!
by D for drooly -
I use the product twice a day, 3 tabs each time. It appears to be more effective than other similar products that I used previously.

Finally a product that actually works
by Steverino -
I started using this supplement because of a referral from a friend that was testing it for an arthritic condition from which we both suffer. I must say, after a month of taking it my discomfort is about 90% gone. I still have one thumb joint that is not great but everything else feels pretty darn good. Just be sure to take with a full glass of water or have a small snack as it can cause slight heartburn if the capsules stick a bit in the esophagus on the way down.

They work so far...
by kayhless
I have been taking these for 3 weeks and my knee pain is much less, not completely gone but significantly better, the swelling is gone and the grinding sound is also gone. The knees still pop and snap when I get up but no grinding while walking which is much easier to do. I am currently taking 3 a day. I haven't noticed any side effects so far.

Recommended Notable Characteristic: It works A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) introduced me to this product many years ago. It certainly works at 6 capsule per day. The instructions indicate 4 to 8 capsules per day. Good anti-inflammatory ingredients that work at all levels, joints, muscles, ligaments, any body tissue etc. Contains the version or formula of curcumin called ""Meriva"" which has a some studies about it good absorbability. Not all curcumin supplements are the same regarding absorbability, this nutritional food is difficult to absorb. Some formula's use black pepper, some oils. The Meriva formula of curumin is designed for absorbability in a different manner than black pepper or oils. There is no repeat or flavor from AR-Encap. For diagnosed bone-on-bone, read about niacinamide which is not in AR-encap, it might be a good alternative after 3-4 months of use.
