Understanding the Key Ingredients
Turmeric (2631mg providing 50mg Curcuminoids)
Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. The active compounds, curcuminoids, have been extensively studied. At 2631mg of extract providing 50mg of standardized curcuminoids, this ensures consistent potency.
Glucosamine Hydrochloride (300mg)
Glucosamine is a building block of cartilage—the cushioning tissue between joints. While your body produces glucosamine naturally, production declines with age. Supplemental glucosamine has been studied extensively for joint support.
Our vegan glucosamine is derived from fermentation rather than shellfish, making it suitable for those with shellfish allergies and vegan dietary preferences.
MSM - Methylsulphonyl Methane (200mg)
MSM is an organic sulfur compound found naturally in plants, animals, and humans. Sulfur is essential for connective tissue health and is a component of collagen and cartilage.
MSM has become popular in joint health formulas and is often combined with glucosamine for synergistic support.
Vitamin C (12mg - 15% NRV)
Vitamin C's role in collagen formation is critical. Without adequate vitamin C, your body cannot produce collagen effectively, regardless of other nutrients available. Collagen is the structural protein in cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments, skin, and blood vessels.
Bamboo Extract (300mg providing 22.50mg Silica)
Bamboo is one of nature's richest sources of silica—a mineral important for connective tissue, bone, and joint health. Silica supports collagen synthesis and has been traditionally used for supporting structural tissues.
Korean Panax Ginseng (100mg)
Beyond its traditional adaptogenic properties, Panax Ginseng has been studied for various wellness applications and adds overall vitality support to this joint-focused formula.
Nettle Leaf (100mg)
Nettle (Urtica dioica) has been used traditionally in European herbalism for joint comfort and has been studied for its properties related to joint health.
Rosehip (100mg)
Rosehip (Rosa Canina) is naturally rich in vitamin C and has been traditionally used for joint support. The whole extract provides additional beneficial compounds beyond vitamin C alone.
Horsetail (50mg)
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is another natural source of silica and has been used traditionally for supporting connective tissues, bones, and joints.
Ginger Root (40mg)
Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) is turmeric's botanical cousin and has been used traditionally for comfort and wellness. Its inclusion complements the turmeric in this formula.
Montmorency Cherry (20mg)
Montmorency tart cherries contain naturally occurring compounds that have made them popular among active individuals and those interested in joint comfort.
Bromelain (5mg providing 5GDU)
Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple stems. It has been studied for various applications and is often included in joint support formulas.
Papain (5mg)
Papain is a proteolytic enzyme from papaya. Like bromelain, it has been traditionally used and studied for various wellness applications.
Kelp (5mg)
Kelp provides natural iodine and trace minerals, supporting overall health and complementing the mineral-rich formula.
Apple Cider Vinegar (5mg)
Traditional ingredient that's been used in folk remedies for joint comfort, now available in convenient powder form without the harsh taste of liquid vinegar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this glucosamine vegan? Yes! Unlike most glucosamine which is derived from shellfish shells, ours is produced through fermentation, making it suitable for vegans and those with shellfish allergies.
How does this compare to glucosamine-chondroitin formulas? This uses glucosamine-MSM rather than glucosamine-chondroitin. MSM provides sulfur for connective tissue health, while the comprehensive botanical blend offers broader support than standard glucosamine-chondroitin products.
Why is the vitamin C dose only 15% NRV? This provides foundational support for collagen synthesis. The rosehip in the formula provides additional natural vitamin C. You can supplement with additional vitamin C if desired.
How long until I notice results? Joint supplements typically require consistent use over weeks to months. Some people notice changes within 4-6 weeks, while optimal results often take 2-3 months of daily use.
Can I take this with other joint supplements? Check that you're not duplicating ingredients. This already contains glucosamine, MSM, and turmeric, so additional supplements with these ingredients may provide excessive amounts.
Does this contain black pepper like some turmeric supplements? No, this formula doesn't include black pepper/piperine. The focus is on the glucosamine-MSM-turmeric combination for joint support rather than maximizing turmeric absorption specifically.
Can I take this if I'm diabetic? Consult your doctor. While vegan glucosamine is not derived from shellfish, there's some debate about whether any form of glucosamine affects blood sugar or blood sugar monitoring.
Will this help with arthritis? This is a food supplement, not a treatment for medical conditions. If you have arthritis or any joint condition, work with your healthcare provider for appropriate treatment.
Can I take this long-term? Yes, when taken as directed. Many people use glucosamine-based joint formulas for extended periods.
Why take with food? Fat-soluble components are better absorbed with dietary fat, and taking with food minimizes potential stomach sensitivity from the multiple active ingredients.
Combining with Other Supplements
Generally compatible with:
- Calcium and vitamin D (for bone health)
- Omega-3 supplements (often used for joint support)
- Probiotics
- Most other vitamins
Use caution when combining with:
- Other glucosamine supplements (check total intake)
- Other turmeric/curcumin supplements (check total intake)
- Blood thinning supplements or medications
- Other MSM supplements
Consider taking separately from:
- Iron supplements (take 2 hours apart)
- Medications (consult your doctor about timing)
