MSM helps relieve joint pain and stiffness. In fact, research shows that MSM protects against rheumatoid arthritis and can help reduce pain and physical inability in osteoarthritis. More mobility, less pain.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a cofactor in multiple enzymatic reactions including collagen synthesis. Humans are unable to produce vitamin C because a gene for this ability has mutated and no longer works properly. Therefore, the only way to get vitamin C into our body is via a food source or a reputable supplement. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant which prevents or reduces damage caused by free radicals.
L-Glutamine
How does it work?
Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Glutamine is produced in the muscles and is distributed by the blood to the organs that need it. Glutamine helps gut function, the immune system, and other essential processes in the body, especially in times of stress. It is also important for providing "fuel" (nitrogen and carbon) to many different cells in the body. Glutamine is needed to make other chemicals in the body such as other amino acids and glucose (sugar).
After surgery or traumatic injury, nitrogen is necessary to repair the wounds and keep the vital organs functioning. About one third of this nitrogen comes from glutamine.
If the body uses more glutamine than the muscles can make (i.e., during times of stress), muscle wasting can occur. This can occur in people with HIV/AIDS. Taking glutamine supplements might keep the glutamine stores up.
Some types of chemotherapy can reduce the levels of glutamine in the body. Glutamine treatment is thought to help prevent chemotherapy-related damage by maintaining the life of the affected tissues.
So as you probably know leaky gut happens when your gut lining is too permeable (or ‘leaky’ if you like), aka intestinal hyperpermeability. Meaning things that shouldn’t go through your gut lining and into your bloodstream, do.
Well, L-Glutamine helps strengthen the gut lining so this doesn’t happen so much.
Glutamine: is the most abundant naturally occurring, non-essential amino acid in the human body. Also known as L-glutamine, this amino acid is scientifically proven to play an important role in the growth of fibroblast cells. Collagen makes up 75% of our skin. As we age, the breakdown of collagen and exposure of skin to damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun leads to the formation of wrinkles and sagging skin.
Glutamine helps to reverse these effects of aging by significantly increasing collagen production within the skin. As an immune booster, glutamine is also efficient in the production of antioxidant compounds which helps to neutralize harmful toxins and free radicals. Clinical studies have reported that glutamine enhances the immune system and reduces infections, leading to a faster recovery of burns or wounds. Glutamine also helps to firm the skin through its ability to balance acid-base levels as mentioned above. Since Glutamine plays an important role in producing protein, it is important to supplement the body with adequate amounts of protein as we age, otherwise the body uses protein from muscles, which is not healthy for the body. If muscles begin to lose protein then the skin loses elasticity.
