Nutrition for your Joints - Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM & Fish Oils

Our supplement order of joint formula complex and fish oil has finally arrived and is now available in Drive Fitness studios. These are our most popular supplements second only to protein.

Our joint formula complex containts:
  • Glucosamine Sulfate (as glucosamine sulfate potassium) 1500mg
  • Chondroitin Sulfate (as chondroitin sulfate sodium) 1200mg
  • MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) 1200mg
All three of these components combine to assist with joint pain, function and repair.
  • Glucosamine is a precursor for the production of the major components of joint cartilage in the body. Supplemental glucosamine therefore may help to prevent cartilage degeneration and treat arthritis.
  • Chondroitin sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage. It is suggested that dietary intake of chondroitin may therefore promote the repair of cartilage in the body. Chondroitin has also been found to have an anti-inflammatory affect which may help reduce joint pain and improve joint function.
  • MSM is an organic source of sulfur which is widely utilised by the body in the formation of connective tissue. It may help give relief from joint pain and inflammation.
Our fish oil supplements are now also available again and may further assist with reducing joint inflammation.
