Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar
synthesized in the body from L-glutamine and glucose. Glucosamine stimulates the
manufacture of glycosaminoglycans, important components of the cartilage needed
for healthy joints. Aging people seem to lose their ability to produce a
sufficient amount of glucosamine, and there are no food sources available.
Commercial sources of glucosamine are from the exoskeleton of certain shellfish
and are available as gluco-samine sulfate, gluco-samine hydrochloride, and
N-acetyl-glucosamine. The sulfated form may most effectively incorporate sulfur
into the cartilage. Take two capsules three times daily with meals, or
as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug

What is it?
Glycosaminoglycans and glycoproteins allow cells in tissues to hold together.
They are necessary for the construction and maintenance of virtually all
connective tissues and lubricating fluids in the body. In particular, N-acetyl
gluco-samine is the final form, which together with glucuronic acid, is
polymerized to make the joint lubricant, hyaluronic acid.
Chondroitin sulfates provide the structural components of joint cartilage and
facilitate the entry of glucosamine into joints. Chondroitin sulfates also
inhibit free radical enzymes. Like glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate attracts
water into the cartilage matrix and helps to stimulate the production of
cartilage.*
Recent research suggests that chondroitin and glucosamine sulfate in combination
have a positive effect on subchondral bone structural changes and may help
augment repair processes following accessory joint tissue injury. These
important joint health agents may help maintain healthy joint structure and
function and reduce the joint discomfort and stiffness.*Suggested Use
