I am a physical education teacher and coach, and my joints get a lot of wear and tear, so I do my best to maintain their health. A few months ago though, I hurt my shoulder around the rotator cuff area. It was very painful and I could not get full range of motion out of my shoulder. The joint discomfort was effecting a lot of the things I love to do such as running and playing golf, not to mention teaching my P.E. students. Well my wife suggested that I try Nature Made® TripleFlex™. I was not sure how much to take so I followed the directions on the bottle and within 6 weeks I was much better, and all of my joints seem to be maintaining a greater level of comfort. I had full range of motion back in my shoulder. That was over two months ago and I am still discomfort free. Being 53 years old it is a real confidence builder. Thanks. I would and have highly recommended your products.

Thanks Michael! Triple Flex™ is a combination of MSM, Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements which are typically sold individually. Triple Flex addresses overall joint fitness and maintenance. Nature Made® Triple Flex is available in 50-count tablets, each containing 500 milligrams (mg) of Glucosamine Hydrochloride, 400 mg of Chondroitin Sulfate and 125 mg of MSM. The daily dosage for Triple Flex is three tablets taken with a meal. This is how it works:

1. MSM maintains limber ligaments: Ligaments are fibrous tissues that connect your bones and cartilage and help support and strengthen joints. Critical to maintaining the elasticity and flexibility of the ligaments is the sulfur found in MSM, a naturally occurring compound in all living organisms. Supplementing the diet with MSM helps the body produce collagen, which then helps to soften connective tissue.

2. Glucosamine keeps cartilage connected: As a type of connective tissue that separates bone from bone, cartilage is subject to a lot of wear and tear in the body. Glucosamine, an amino sugar, is produced naturally in the body and found mainly in cartilage. Supplementing the diet with glucosamine stimulates the formation of cartilage, promoting joint comfort and flexibility.

3. Chondroitin keeps joint fluids flowing: As we age, we start to lose fluid in our joints, causing the space between them to diminish, which can result in great discomfort. Just as a car needs oil to function properly, the human body needs joint fluid to stay mobile. Chondroitin is a natural substance found in the body that deters cartilage-dissolving enzymes and creates a watery, shock-absorbing space within cartilage tissue to help relieve joint stress.

In addition to joint supplement support, a healthy diet rich in antioxidants found in brightly colored fruits, such as oranges and berries, may help promote joint health. Vegetables, such as leafy greens, as well as nuts and foods rich in vitamin D, such as mushrooms, eggs and fortified low-fat milk and cereals, may also work to encourage overall joint health and mobility.
