Joint Support Nutrients 240cap - Thorne

Comprehensive joint support

Thorne 's Joint Support (formerly AR-Encap) goes beyond simple glucosamine supplementation. It adds nutrients to provide relief from occasional pain and stiffness.

Joint Support® combines the prominent joint support ingredient, glucosamine, with other nutrients and medicinal plants that also support joint health. Glucosamine demonstrates significant joint support, as evidenced by numerous clinical studies. Methylsulfonyl methane (MSM) also helps support joint integrity and mobility. Bromelain promotes healing after trauma.

Thorne's Meriva®—phospholipid-bound curcumin—and boswellia exert an antioxidant effect and help maintain a healthy cytokine balance (for a normal inflammatory response) in joints and muscles. AR-Encap combines all of these ingredients into a single comprehensive joint support supplement.

AR-Encap® is a comprehensive joint support formula that goes beyond simple glucosamine supplementation. This formula provides 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate (suggested use: four capsules twice daily), the amount used in most studies, in combination with other joint-supporting nutrients and botanicals.

Glucosamine provides significant joint support, as evidenced by numerous clinical studies. Methylsulfonyl methane (MSM)—also known as dimethylsulfone and methylsulfone—is a sulfur-containing biological compound naturally occurring in a variety of plants that provides additional joint support.

In a study of healthy adults with mild knee pain, bromelain supplementation resulted in significant improvement with daily doses of 200 mg and 400 mg. Joint mobility also improved.

Curcumin, the main polyphenol in Asian turmeric, exerts antioxidant effects. Curcumin phytosome (Meriva®), a compound containing curcumin and phosphatidylcholine, has significantly better absorption than regular curcumin and helps maintain a healthy cytokine balance throughout the body.

Boswellia appears to inhibit the activity of lipoxygenase enzymes, thus promoting a healthy balance of cytokines throughout the body. A study of curcumin and boswellia found significant support for normal joint mobility in the group taking the botanical formula.
