ASU or Avacado Soybean Unsaponifiables are derived from the natural vegetable extract of avocado and soybean oils. It is known to slow down the progression of osteoarthritis. It protects the joints from pain and stiffness that is caused by wear and tear on the cartilage. It also lessens the inflammation and boosts the production of cartilage. ASU stimulates the production of collagen and proteoglycan that absorbs the shocks and friction on the cartilage. It also inhibits the production of chemicals that causes inflammation and swelling. ASU is safe for use. It is becoming more favoured than pain relievers and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs.

Boswellia Serrata also known as Wokvel is an Indian frankincense. Found in India, Africa, and the Middle East .It is used for joint function and osteoarthritis especially for the knee. Bosweillia serrata extract has been found to have anti-inflamitory,anti-arthritic,astringent, stimulant, expectorant, and analgesic properties. In clinical studies this extract blocks pro-inflammatory mediators. What that means is that the active elements in bosweilla serrata can stop certain molecules that cause inflammation. Boswiella serrata not only stops the pain but also stops the degenerative effects of eroded cartilage and joint tissues. In other words, this herb is believed to stop arthritis. It is also used to reduce the mucus production and help in breathing for those who suffer from asthma. It reduces bronchial inflammation, the main symptom of asthma.

Chondroitin Sulfate B (CSB)- Chondroitin Sulfates present in the human body are some of the common mucopolysnccharides, bound to collagen. They serve as constituents of the connective tissue’s fundamental substance. It is considered effective for the treatment of joint pain. It not only enhances the mobility of joints but also reduces the dose of conventional anti-inflammatory drugs. Chondroitin Sulfate B (CSB) is abundant in the skin and it is also known as dermatan sulfate. Its inhibitory effects are exerted on secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine (SLC) through binding with C-terminus of SLC. Besides being found in the skin, Chondroitin Sulfate B (CSB) is also found in blood vessels, pulmonary connective tissues, tendons and heart valves. Till date, no serious side effects have been reported as far as chondroitin sulfate B (CSB) is concerned.

Glucosamine is derived from chitin found in shells of crabs, shrimp, and oysters. There is sufficient scientific evidence to prove that glucosamine sulfate is both safe and effective for treating mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee. Research also indicates analgesic and disease-modifying effects of glucosamine sulfate. However, this does not imply that side effects of glucosamine sulfate do not exist. Short term use of glucosamine sulfate may lead to minor side effects such as insomnia, headache, drowsiness, heartburn, constipation, vomiting, and diarrhea and in rare cases, increase in blood pressure and heart rate and palpitations. People with bleeding disorders should not take glucosamine supplements without consulting their physician. These supplements should also be avoided by those allergic to shellfish, which happens to be the primary source of glucosamine.

Green Lipped Mussel is a plant in the genus Perna and family Mytilidae. It is also known as New Zealand green-lipped mussel and greenshell mussel. The plant is mostly found in New Zealand and has also introduced as a pest in Australia. Green Lipped Mussel is a species of bivalve mollusc. It is one of the largest mussel species reaching 240 mm in length. It is used in many nutritional supplements because it contains a unique combination of fatty acids that are not found elsewhere. Another important component is a polysaccharide glycosaminoglycan, which assists in repair of damaged joint tissues. It is also shown to inhibit inflammation.

Hyaluronic Acid or hyaluronate is an anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan distributed widely throughout connective, neural and epithelial tissues. It is also produced synthetically for its medicinal uses. Hyaluronic acid is used in eye surgery and to treat osteoarthritis of the knee; its injections into the knee joint are believed to increase the viscosity of the joint fluid, thereby lubricating the joint, cushioning the joint, and producing an analgesic effect. It is also used in lotions for treatment of dry skin. Hyaluronic acid has been used in the synthesis of biological scaffolds for wound healing applications. It is also used in anti adhesive products to prevent postoperative adhesions in pelvic and abdominal surgery.

Manganese is a mineral that is required in small amounts to manufacture enzymes necessary for the metabolism of proteins and fat. It also aids the immune system and blood sugar balance. Manganese is also involved in the production of cellular energy, reproduction and bone growth.

MSM is a sulfur compound which is naturally present in the body. Hair loss and poor health of the hair is caused mainly because of deficiency of MSM. Taking MSM supplements compensates for the deficiency caused in the body. MSM accelerates the hair growth by working with the protein and the natural keratin present in the hair.

Vitamin C is an obvious essential nutrient and a deficiency of this will cause scurvy. It is also an antioxidant and acts as an electron donor for eight different enzymes.
