As you age, your spine may begin to show the signs of daily wear and tear. You can optimize your spinal health by nourishing the discs or cartilage that sit between each vertebra of your spine. When discs stop working well, it can cause neck and back stiffness, weakness, discomfort, or you may have trouble carrying out ordinary daily activities. Disc-Discovery features 14 critical nutrients that promote disc health and spinal health. Bovine cartilage is a rich natural source of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) including chondroitin sulfate. GAGs encourage healthy connective tissue synthesis and maintain the health and stability of your discs. When you've injured your back or neck, GAGs play an important role in the repair of your connective tissue. Manganese promotes normal bone growth and healthy nerve function and helps your body make cartilage. Calcium supports muscle growth and repair. Zinc supports healthy collagen formation. Apple pectin and horsetail are rich sources of silicon, which your body needs to make enough GAGs and to create bone and connective tissue. Magnesium helps enhance muscular comfort. Vitamin C boosts the effectiveness of GAGs and helps your body create collagen. Vitamin B6 is required for normal brain and nervous system function. Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb and use calcium and phosphorus and it protects against muscle weakness. Amino acid taurine helps your body use many of the minerals in the formula. Serine is involved in muscle growth and helps GAGs work their best in connective tissue.The enzyme pepsin boosts silicon absorption.
