Medicinal Benefits

Joint-GM Tablet compromises three medicines, namely Glucosamine, Diacerein, and Methylsulfonylmethane. Glucosamine sulfate is a natural protein used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When an individual becomes old, the levels of this fluid start reducing, which leads to a slow breakdown of joints. Taking it as a supplement boosts joint health and eases pain related to osteoarthritis. Diacerein is a slowly-acting medication that effectively treats swelling and pain in the joints. Methylsulfonylmethane is a type of natural chemical found in animals, plants and humans. Taking it as a supplement helps reduce inflammation, lowers pain and speeds recovery after exercise. It also reduces joint degeneration, which is a common reason for pain in the back, hands, knees and hips. All three medicines in combination, relieve pain or swelling due to Osteoarthritis.
