LifeSource liquids are the quickest absorbed, within 15 to 30 seconds. And because the minerals are ionically charged, they increase the absorption of other nutrients too. This means great absorption of all of your other supplements as well.

* When taking this liquid supplement for arthritis, you need to take less milligrams of the liquid due to the absorb-ability of the liquid!

There is no current recommended daily dosage for glucosamine, however, most people do best when taking 500 milligrams to 1500 milligrams daily, whether alone or in combination with other supplements (like Chondroitin, Omega-3s or MSM supplements). Studies show the 500 to 1,500 dosage range helps:

• lower inflammation and help reverse autoimmune reactions
• preserve joint health
• reduce joint pain and tenderness
• protect and repair the gut lining
• fight irritation to the stomach, bladder, and intestines
• treat inflammatory bowel disease and leaky gut syndrome
• rebuild tissue and stronger bones following fractures or injuries

There is no better way to provide your body with these ingredients, Guaranteed!

With virtually every move we make, our joints are constantly being stressed. As the years' pass, these countless movements can take a tremendous toll on the integrity of our cartilage. LifeSource Vitamins Glucosamine and Chondroitin liquid provide a fast and convenient way to replenish joint tissues and promote normal movement while protecting our healthy cartilage from potential future damage. To increase its absorption and functionality, we’ve added MSM, and essential trace minerals.


Who Should Consider: Anyone who is experiencing Osteoarthritis joint-associated pain, including:

What does Glucosamine do?

Glucosamine supplements are widely used for osteoarthritis, particularly knee osteoarthritis. In osteoarthritis, cartilage -- the rubbery material that cushions joints -- becomes stiff and loses its elasticity. This makes the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, swelling, loss of movement, and further deterioration.*

Since the body's natural glucosamine is used to make and repair joint cartilage, taking glucosamine as a nutritional supplement is thought to help repair damaged cartilage by augmenting the body's supply of glucosamine.

Numerous double-blind studies have shown that Glucosamine produces significantly positive results in reducing the symptoms of Osteoarthritis. The main function of glucosamine is to stimulate the manufacture of substances, including cartilage, necessary for joint repair. It appears that some people lack the ability to manufacture glucosamine and this has been suggested as one of the major factors leading to the development of osteoarthritis. European researchers were the first to study the link between glucosamine levels and osteoarthritis. Of the three ingredients in Glucosamine + Chondroitin + MSM, Glucosamine has the strongest amount of research indicating its efficacy. If you are on a tight budget, Glucosamine alone is a less expensive option.

There is promising evidence that glucosamine may reduce pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis. For example, a study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine examined people with osteoarthritis over three years. Researchers assessed pain and structural improvements seen on x-ray. They gave 202 people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate a day or a placebo.*

At the end of the study, researchers found that glucosamine slowed the progression of knee osteoarthritis compared to the placebo. People in the glucosamine group had a significant reduction in pain and stiffness. On x-ray, there was no average change or narrowing of joint spaces in the knees (a sign of deterioration) of the glucosamine group. In contrast, the joint spaces of participants taking the placebo narrowed over the three years.*

What does Chondroitin do?

According to the Arthritis Foundation, chondroitin is believed to enhance the shock-absorbing characteristics of collagen and block enzymes that break down cartilage. It has been shown to help cartilage retain water and when used together with glucosamine, chondroitin may reverse cartilage loss.*

How Does Chondroitin Work?

Chondroitin Sulfates are long chains of repeating disaccharides that are sulfated. They are part of a group of glycosamino-glycans, also known as mucopolysaccharides. They are made up of amino sugars, sugar acid, and galactosamine (which is a precursor to glucosamine). The chains of Chondroitin Sulfates are much longer than other glycosamino-glycans. This added length seems to assist in the efficacy of chondroitin. Chondroitin Sulfates have negative charges which cause them to repel each other and attract water, which in turn fills space in three dimensions and enables the cartilage to absorb shock. While Glucosamine helps you manufacture or repair cartilage, Chondroitin seems to help maintain its health and lubrication.*

Recent Research on Chondroitin is compelling.

For the past seven years, we have not sold a product with Chondroitin in it. We have refrained from selling Chondroitin mainly because the research on the efficacy of orally consumed Chondroitin, although building, was not yet compelling. We are now firmly of the opinion that, based on numerous double-blind placebo, controlled studies, adding chondroitin to your supplement regime is a strongly positive factor in reducing the negative effects of Osteoarthritis. *

How Does MSM Work?

Methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, is a safe and natural assimilate derived from the Southern Louisiana Pine. MSM is organic sulfur--the kind your body can absorb and use. Sulfur is the fourth most plentiful mineral in the body. And, it is found in every cell of every animal and plant. Sulfur is found in food; it is most abundant in eggs and red peppers, but can also be found in significant quantities in grains, legumes, animal proteins, onions, garlic, asparagus, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and broccoli.*

At the Oregon Health and Sciences University, Dr. Stanley Jacob discovered that heating dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), caused it to crystallize, and isolated 99.9% of the beneficial compound MSM. MSM is a pure, natural, stable, white, odorless crystalline powder without the unpleasant taste or odor of DMSO. It does not produce intestinal gas or body odor that may occur with other forms of sulfur. MSM is not a drug or medicine and is unrelated to sulfa drugs, to which some people have an allergy.*

MSM may help relieve joint pain and swelling - without the stomach damage, rebound pain, and (yes, it's true) joint damage associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's), such as ibuprofen. Every batch produced by LifeSource Laboratories has been tested. The first food-grade MSM made for human consumption. The finest MSM available. .*

The key issue with MSM is what kind of effect it has on the body and why you would take it. Unlike Glucosamine, you already get some MSM from your diet. Strictly speaking, MSM is the biologically available (organic) form of sulfur. Sulfur is one of the major components of food and one of the most prevalent materials in the body. Most likely due to its chemical similarity to sulfur, MSM has shown to be effective at relieving inflammation and some would argue that MSM is far better than some of the other COX2 drugs or NSAIDS out there.*

Why Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM together?

To aid in the relief of pain associated with Osteoarthritis (also known as Degenerative Joint Disease) and to potentially slow the onset of degenerative effects of Osteoarthritis. This is a combination that helps in the rebuilding of joint cartilage, maintains the health of the cartilage, and at the same time reduces the painful inflammation associated with Osteoarthritis.*

Study Glucosamine / MSM:

In a study noted by New York University Langone Medical Center, glucosamine/ MSM significantly reduced osteoarthritis pain in study subjects who consumed a specific dose daily for 12 weeks compared to those who took no supplement. While glucosamine and MSM alone, at the same dose as the combined supplement, decreased the pain experienced by the study subjects, the effect was less than when they took both supplements together. Glucosamine MSM may also relieve the pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, one or the other may offer benefits against temporomandibular joint arthritis, interstitial cystitis, inflammatory bowel disease, rosacea, and sports-related injuries.*
