Chondroitin & MSM

If you are looking for help with joint pain, you have come to the right page.

Both chondroitin and methlysulfonylmethane, or MSM, are natural compounds that  Are naturally found in joints.

Whether you are an athlete or simply looking for joint support, you might want to explore our multiple options below.

Many people take them as joint supplements for a variety of reasons.

You can either take them separately or combined.

Read on to find out more about each, including the different supplements and combinations that are available.

Chondroitin supplements

Chondroitin is found in various parts of the body, including the skin, bone, ligaments and tendons.

But importantly, it is one of the ‘building blocks’ of cartilage – the stuff that absorbs shock in between our joints.

Specifically, chondroitin supports the elasticity of the cartilage by encouraging it to retain water.

Chondroitin supplements come in various forms, including chondroitin tablets, chondroitin patches and chondroitin liquid. These are often combined with substances called glucosamine and MSM.

If you are vegetarian or vegan, it is worth noting that some chondroitin supplements are made from animal products, so be sure to check the specific information on the product page.

Glucosamine chondroitin  

Glucosamine is another compound found in cartilage and it has been found to work well with chondroitin.

If you think this combination could work for you, try Holland & Barrett Extra Strength Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex Caplets.  

MSM supplements 

Methlysulfonylmethane, or MSM, is another structural element in cartilage.

It is a source of sulphur, which forms glycosaminoglycans, which, in turn, help form cartilage.
