NOW Glucosamine/MSM/Arnica Liposome Lotion is a synergistic blend of joint and skin support factors delivered via liposome technology. Liposomes are bi-layered, membranous spheres that are similar in almost every way to small cells. They can carry almost any active ingredient, and can deliver their cargo all at once or release it slowly over time.
Research for the use of liposomes for topical application was pioneered by Mezei and his colleagues during the early 1980's. Recent advances in liposome delivery systems have improved the ability of these phospholipid vessels to deliver these vital nutrients through the epidermis and deeper layers of tissue.Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. It is an amino sugar that helps rebuild and repair the cartilage between bones and joints. It reduce arthritis symptoms by helping to rebuild cartilage, and helps relieve the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease.
MSM is one of the most critical nutrients for our bodies to remain youthful and energetic. As we age, along with a diet deficient in essential nutrients, our bodies become stiff, our cells become rigid, and our overall energy begins to rapidly decelerate. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound that’s naturally derived during the earth’s rain cycle. Sulfur is present in many natural unprocessed foods, but it’s quickly lost during the cooking process. MSM is gaining a lot of attention due to the recent focus on longevity and anti-aging technologies.Arnica has traditionally been used for many years to treat swelling, bruising, and pain relief. It increases circulation by stimulating white blood cell activity, thereby decreasing the amount of healing time and reducing inflammation. By stimulating the flow of white blood cells, they process congested blood to help disperse trapped fluid from the joints, muscles, and bruised tissue.
