Glucosamine has been shown in animal studies to decrease inflammation and arthritic symptoms, while it has been suggested chondroitin may inhibit cartilage degradation (Potera, 1997). More recently a number of scientific reviews have concluded that when glucosamine and chondroitin are ingested by humans they appear to have a number of beneficial effects in individuals suffering osteoarthritis (Richy et al., 2003; McAlindon et al., 2000). Similar to Glucosamine and Chondroitin, RegenR8 is formulated to contain MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) primarily as it may provide raw materials the body needs in order to make cartilage. Researchers predict that MSM will soon be proven effective not only in the treatment of various types of arthritis (including rheumatoid and osteoarthritis), but also in other conditions that involve connective tissue degeneration (Cronin JR., 1999).
