AIM Frame Essentials®
AIM
Frame Essentials® contains two types of glucosamine— glucosamine sulfate
and glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL)—with methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
and boswellin extract. This unique formula provides you with an all-around
product to maintain healthy joints and promote ease of movement.
Glucosamine
Both glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine HCL are forms of glucosamine.
Glucosamine makes up 63 percent of glucosamine sulfate and 83 percent
of glucosamine HCL. Most human studies have used glucosamine sulfate.
This is because the company that paid for the research developed this
form.
Glucosamine HCL has not been evaluated as extensively, but clinical
experience from a variety of health practitioners indicates that glucosamine
HCL works just as well. Many health practitioners recommend trying one,
and if that does not work, trying the other. AIM Frame Essentials® gives
you both of these at once.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)
MSM is a biologically active form of the mineral sulfur.
Sulfur is the fourth most plentiful mineral in the body and is found
in every cell of the body. Sulfur plays a particularly important role
in tissue structure. MSM is naturally present in foods and the human
body. MSM has been used by veterinarians for more than 15 years, and
use by humans goes back some 20 years.
The formation of MSM begins when marine algae release sulfur compounds
that are transformed in ocean water into a substance known as dimethyl
sulfide (DMS). DMS rises into the atmosphere where it is transformed
into DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and MSM. These compounds are returned
by rainwater to the earth, where they are absorbed by plants.
MSM contributes to healthy joints because, as a form of sulfur, it
adds to the benefits of glucosamine. It may aid glucosamine in its role
in maintaining healthy cartilage as well as in helping to maintain joint
flexibility and mobility. Many glucosamine users experience increased
benefits when adding MSM to their supplement regimen.
Boswellin extract
Boswellia serrata (Indian frankincense) has been used for centuries
in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine to maintain healthy joints.
This is still one of its main uses.
Boswellic acids improve blood supply to the joints and maintain the
integrity of blood vessels. At least one study has indicated that they
may open up collateral blood circulation to provide adequate blood supply
to the joints.
Boswellic acids have been known to reduce joint swelling, maintain
blood supply to inflamed joints, maintain mobility, and reduce pain
due to stiffness in the joints. They also have no side effects.
