Celadrin & MSM
Now Foods Celadrin & MSM 500mg, 60 caps
Celadrin & MSM from NOW is scientifically formulated to provide superior joint support by combining two effective and clinically tested compounds. Celadrin is a proprietary fatty acid complex that has been shown to help support healthy joint function and mobility without the side effects commonly associated with other therapies. Scientific studies indicate that Celadrin is a safe, well-absorbed joint-supporting agent that is easily utilized by the body.
For added support and synergism, each 2 capsule serving includes 200mg of MSM. This biologically active source of sulfur is essential in the formation of both collagen (a key component in cartilage) and sulfur amino acids such as methionine and cysteine.

LIKELY USERS: People lacking flexibility or mobility; People wanting
temporary control of aches and pains; People wanting to reduce pro-inflammatory
body chemicals
KEY INGREDIENT(S): Celadrin 500 mg.
MAIN PRODUCT FEATURES: CELADRIN is an all-natural proprietary matrix of
esterified (cetylated) fatty acid carbons (EFAC) derived from tallow of
USA-raised cattle. This product is developed through a proprietary process of
esterifying oil & has been clinically tested. Celadrin promotes joint health by
improving flexibility, painmanagement and mobility. The myristoleic acids and
the cetylated forms may alter the 5-LOXenzyme and change the leukotriene
production, inhibiting inflammatory compounds.
Celadrin may offer some noticeable benefits faster than other substances,
like glucosamine and chondroitin. It is not a substitute for these important
nutrients, though.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES: MSM has synergistic abilities to reduce certain
substances in the body which may affect inflammation.

SYNERGISTS: Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Joint Support Products, Manganese,
Vitamin C, other Antioxidants
CAUTIONS: Please notify your physician about your supplement use if you are
