Joint Support As a key ingredient in cartilage, Glucosamine plays an important role in good joint health. Studies indicate that Glucosamine provides the building blocks for constructing cartilage. Deva's Glucosamine is derived from corn rather than shellfish or other animals. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural and efficient source of organic sulfur, which is necessary for the formation of collagen, and is required by many of the body's structural molecules. MSM has been shown to be essential to joint health and function, and for all types of connective tissue in general. CMO (Cetyl Myristoleate) helps joint problems by lubricating and supporting healthy joint function. CMO used in Deva's product is derived from plant sources rather than the usual beef tallow. This Vegan Glucosamine-MSM-CMO product is perfect for senior citizens, weekend athletes, or anyone desiring extra nutritional support for cartilage and joints. Deva Glucosamine-MSM-CMO is 100% vegan, vegetarian, and is certified by the Vegan Society, the non-profit organization that actually invented the word "vegan". It is the only 100% vegan product in the world that combines Glucosamine, MSM, and CMO all in one tablet for healthy joints. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
