Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) is a naturally occurring nutrient that is a sulphur compound found in foods such as fruit, corn, tea and coffee. Sulphur is present in all living organisms and is an important element in more than 150 compounds in the body and is stored in every cell of the body, particularly the hair, nails and connective tissues of joints and skin. In this supplement, a therapeutic dose of MSM works synergistically with glucosamine sulphate 2KCl in a convenient one-a-day capsule formulation.

Glucosamine is produced naturally in the joints of the body and is classed as a glycosaminoglycan which is a carbohydrate-amino acid molecule. It is a key structural component of joint tissue. Although it is naturally present in the joints of the body, our natural levels of it begin to fall as we get older. As it is rarely found in natural food sources the easiest way to increase glucosamine intake is via supplementation. Most glucosamine supplements on the market are derived from shellfish, however Viridian only use a vegan form of glucosamine as Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl.
