Gout is an inflammatory disease resulting from deposition of uric acid crystals in tissues and fluids within the body. This process is caused by an overproduction or under-excretion of uric acid. The resulting excess uric acid eventually forms crystals in joints and cause the joints to become inflamed. The joints that are commonly affected include toes (especially the big toe), ankles, knees, and fingers. Acute gout will typically manifest itself as an acutely red, hot, tender and swollen joint with excruciating pain. Recurrent bouts of acute gout can lead to a degenerative form of chronic arthritis called gouty arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is a joint disorder that occurs when the cartilage on the ends of the joints wears down and the exposed bones rub together. This degenerative process causes excess friction in the joints, which leads to loss of motion, stiffness and joint pain. MapleLife® Joint-Less-Pain works to reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis by reducing the swelling and stiffness within the joints and improving the functional status of people with hip or knee osteoarthritis.

Glucosamine sulfate protects joint cartilage by limiting breakdown and promoting the build-up of cartilage tissue. Chondroitin sulfate is part of a protein molecule that helps give cartilage its elastic properties and it also has anti-inflammatory effects, reducing the painful swelling in the joints that occurs when the exposed bones in the joint rub together.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound and one of the major building blocks of glycosaminoglycans, a key structural component in cartilage. MSM plays an essential role in the formation and maintenance of connective tissues such as cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. MSM has also been shown to slow the nerve impulses that transmit pain signals, ultimately reducing pain.
