Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

  • Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) acts as a nutritional supplement to the bones. It contains sulphur which is vital in the production of collagen and glucosamine, which in turn help in strengthening and repairing the bones and joints. MSM additionally lowers inflammation (swelling) of the joints.
  • Diacerein works by blocking the actions of a chemical substance called interleukin-1 beta, which leads to swelling, pain and degradation of cartilage at the joints. It also helps in the built-up of cartilage thereby aiding in joint repair and healing.
  • Glucosamine is a chemical substance found in the fluid around the joints (synovial fluid). It helps the synthesis of synovial fluid which keeps the joints lubricated and provides better movement and flexibility. It promotes the build-up of cartilage, thereby helping in joint repair and reduces pain and improves its healing.
