Joint Support Nutrients 240c by Thorne
(Formerly AR-Encap)
Joint Support Nutrients by Thorne is a comprehensive supplement that goes beyond traditional glucosamine supplements by adding a variety of nutrients and botanicals to the daily recommended dose of glucosamine. This formula contains methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM) as well as Meriva curcumin phytosome, a combination of curcumin and phosphatidylcholine with an improved absorption profile over unmodified curcumin. This product may help support normal joint mobility and provide nutrients to help support the body's normal inflammatory response. The ingredients in Thorne's Joint Support Nutrients formula work together to provide a number of benefits to the human body. Glucosamine, the main ingredient, helps to support healthy joint function and may help to reduce the symptoms of joint pain and stiffness. MSM, curcumin phytosome, Boswellia, and Devil's Claw are additional ingredients that support the body's normal inflammatory response. This unique formula is not found in other joint health supplements, making it a great choice for those looking for a comprehensive joint support supplement.

**Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.
