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. AIM
