Glucosamine Synergy for Spinal Disc Health

Glucosamine Synergy Supports Joint Function

While conservative care like chiropractic and therapies often benefit patients with new disc injuries or chronic disc degeneration, patients often ask about natural supplements that can help support spinal disc health. Glucosamine Synergy from Standard Process is our go-to supplement to help support disc or joint function in acute and chronic cases while we work to improve their condition with hands-on care.

Discs are special joints in your spine that act like shock absorbers between the vertebrae. They have an outer ring of rubber band-like fibers and a jelly-like center. Injuries often occur when the outer ring weakens or tears, allowing the center to bulge or push out creating a disc herniation. This can irritate nearby nerves, leading to pain or numbness through the spine or extremities.

If you suspect a disc injury, early treatment is key for a good recovery. Conservative care, like chiropractic is recommended in most cases for initial treatment, and surgery can often be avoided.

Feed Your Joints & Discs to Support Repair
​
Feeding the body nutrient-dense foods during the healing of musculoskeletal injuries helps give the body what it needs for repairs. Glucosamine Synergy includes nutrients designed to help feed the discs and connective tissues of the spine. Among the many nutrient-dense foods in Glucosamine Synergy, three key ingredients are included:

• Glucosamine: A building block of cartilage, which cushions your joints.
• Boswellia serrata: An herb with anti-inflammatory properties, potentially reducing joint discomfort after exercise.
• Manganese: A mineral crucial for collagen production, a major component of connective tissue.

Joint degeneration and arthritis often develop with age, making discs less flexible. It’s important to keep your joints moving well and support them with proper nutrition to maintain good function. Consider Glucosamine Synergy as one of your tools to support healthy joints.
