MSM-GC with glucosamine, chondroitin and vitamin C, 120 tablets

The ingredients in MSM-GC are of the highest quality

MSM (OptiMSM®), glucosamine (Glucosagreen®), chondroitin (ChondroPure®) and vitamin C (Ester-C®). Using these branded ingredients has the advantage that their manufacturers take the research into the development, improvement, function, production, use and safety of their products very seriously. It is an ongoing process in which the highest quality serves as the benchmark.
MSM stands for methylsulfonylmethane, also known as organically bound sulphur. MSM contains two methyl groups and more than 34% elemental sulphur. It occurs naturally in rainwater as well as in fresh fruit and vegetables. Breast milk is the most nutrient-rich natural source of MSM. MSM is of great importance to life on Earth.

Manufacturing process

Although MSM is a natural substance, it would not be practical to obtain it naturally. Many trees would have to be felled, which would be undesirable. Today's raw materials are DMSO, water and hydrogen peroxide. DMSO is then converted into MSM through a complex process. It is therefore of great importance that the process used to produce the product yields a pure end result. Unfortunately, this does not always seem to be the case in MSM production. The costly distillation process, which effectively removes possible contaminants in the raw materials, is absolutely superior to the often used (much cheaper) crystallisation process.
OptiMSM® from Bergstrom Nutrition is used exclusively by Vitals. Bergstrom has invested for many years in research into the development, improvement, production, application and safety of OptiMSM®. It is an ongoing process, with the highest quality as the benchmark. Only the highest-quality materials and raw materials are used in production. In addition, Bergstrom uses a unique multi-distillation process that is regarded as superior in the industry. Production takes place exclusively at a single site, namely in North America. The production facility is dedicated solely to MSM manufacture. Tests by an independent laboratory are carried out after each stage of production. This ensures that quality is maintained throughout the entire manufacturing process. The result is an MSM product of very high quality: OptiMSM®. OptiMSM® has proven to be the purest product in all comparative tests.

Synergists: Glucosamine serves, among other things, as a precursor for various macromolecules such as glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, hyaluronic acid, glycolipids and glycoproteins. The glucosamine contained in this product is first-class and is plant-derived (from maize) – it is not derived from shellfish. Therefore MSM-GC does not contain common allergens. Chondroitin (in the form of chondroitin sulphate) belongs to the glycosaminoglycans. Three different enzymes involved in collagen formation (the most abundant structural material in the human body) require vitamin C as a coenzyme. Normal collagen formation is, among other things, important for cartilage.

Nutrient properties

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage.
