Our Muscle Formula supports not only muscles, but also stiff and sore joints, since both can be affected by fibromyalgia. Those of you who suffer with fibromyalgia know just how debilitating morning muscle aches and joint stiffness can be. In fact, these symptoms affect up to 90% of fibromyalgia patients.

Myalganex Muscle Formula contains minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and biochemical precursors selected for their protective effects on muscles and joints.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Aids in fat metabolism and muscle development, and helps improve energy levels.

Glucosamine: Glucosamine is a precursor for glycosaminoglycans, a major component of joint cartilage. Supplemental glucosamine is commonly used to help rebuild cartilage and strengthen joints, though it's supportive effect is likely the result of a number of effects including it's anti-inflammatory activity, the stimulation of the synthesis of proteoglycans, and the decrease in catabolic activity of chondrocytes inhibiting the synthesis of proteolytic enzymes and other substances that contribute to damage cartilage matrix and cause death of articular chondrocytes.

Chondroiton: A sulfated glycosaminoglycan and an important structural component of cartilage, providing much of cartilage's resistance to compression. Loss of chondroitin sulfate from the cartilage is a major cause of osteoarthritis. Chondroitin's benefits are likely the result of a number of effects including its anti-inflammatory activity, the stimulation of the synthesis of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid, and the decrease in catabolic activity of chondrocytes inhibiting the synthesis of proteolytic enzymes, nitric oxide and other substances that damage the cartilage matrix and cause the death of articular chondrocytes.

MSM: Methylsulfonylmethane occurs naturally in some primitive plants and is present in small amounts in many foods. MSM is a natural source of sulfur, and while it's exact mechanism of action in the human body is poorly understood, several double-blind clinical trials have shown it to be of benefit, especially in osteoarthritis.
