Articoflex is a dietary supplement with glucosamine and MSM.

Chemically, glucosamine is t.i. aminosugar, which is found in almost all body tissues, most of which is in connective tissue and cartilage. The human body can produce glucosamine itself, but it is a known fact that the synthesis of its own glucosamine has been reduced over the years.

Articoflax uses non-allergenic glucosamine because it is not isolated from shellfish (crustaceans, shells,…) but is produced and isolated by fermentation.

What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound that is chemically classified as an amino sugar. It serves as a building block for a variety of functional molecules in your body but is primarily recognized for developing and maintaining cartilage within your joints. Glucosamine is also found in some animal and other non-human tissues, including shellfish shells, animal bones and fungi. Supplemental forms of glucosamine are often made from these natural sources. Glucosamine is frequently used to both treat and prevent joint disorders, such as osteoarthritis. It may be taken orally or applied topically in a cream or salve.

What is MSM?

Methylsulfonylmethane, more commonly known as MSM, is a popular dietary supplement used to treat a wide array of symptoms and conditions. It’s a sulfur-containing compound found naturally in plants, animals and humans. It can also be produced in a lab to create dietary supplements in powder or capsule form. MSM is widely used in the alternative medicine field and by people looking for a natural way to relieve joint pain, reduce inflammation and boost immunity. In addition, research supports its use in treating a number of conditions from arthritis to rosacea.

Support Healthy Joints

Glucosamine exists naturally in your body. One of its main roles is to support the healthy development of the tissues between your joints. Glucosamine helps form several chemical compounds involved in the creation of articular cartilage and synovial fluid. One small study in 41 cyclists found that supplementing with up to 3 grams of glucosamine daily reduced collagen degradation in the knees by 27% compared to 8% in the placebo group. Another small study found a significantly reduced ratio of collagen-breakdown to collagen-synthesis markers in articular joints of soccer players treated with 3 grams of glucosamine daily over a three-month period. These results suggest a joint-protective effect of glucosamine.
