Glucosamine sulphate 547 mg, glucosamine sulphate is a natural substance that stimulates cartilage production and joint repair. Numerous studies have shown glucosamine sulphate to be effective in relieving the pain and discomfort of osteoarthritis, which
results from the progressive degeneration of cartilage and bone in joints.
White Willow bark 204 mg, the bark of the white willow tree has a long history of use in herbal medicine. In the 5th century BC, hippocrates wrote about a powdered extract from willow bark that could ease pains and reduce fevers. White willow bark is also mentioned in ancient egyptian, assyrian, and greek text. Native american tribes used it in the treatment of headaches, sore muscles, fevers, and chills. The bark's active constituent, salicin, is the substance from which aspirin was originally derived.
Chondroitin sulphate 114 mg- Chondroitin sulphate is a protein molecule that occurs naturally in the body. It gives cartilage elasticity and supports joint health.

Recent clinical studies have confirmed that capsaicin has analgesic properties when applied topically. Researchers have observed that capsaicin's pain-relieving effects is triggered by a substance believed to play a role in communicating pain signals between the nerves in the spinal cord and other parts of the body. It was determined that capsaicin appears to first stimulate and then decrease the intensity of signals in the body, resulting in long-term pain reduction.

A commom ingredient in topical ointments and therapeutic lotions, it stimulates blood flow and helps to relieve arthritis pain and muscle aches.
Clove oil 10 mg- A native of Indonesia and the Malacca Island, the evergreen clove tree has bright green leaves and nail-shapes flower buds, from which the oil is distilled. The Greeks and Romans valued clove oil for its antiseptic properties, as well as for its ability to numb tooth pain.
