EPA/DHA-Glucosamine combines ultra-pure
molecularly distilled fish oil with glucosamine, boswellia and curcumin for
optimal joint function and comfort.* Joint Health: Fish oil moderates
prostaglandin and leukotriene production, supporting healthy connective tissue.
It also plays a role in moderating neutrophil activity, supporting joint
comfort. A double blind, placebo-controlled, prospective study involving 66
subjects revealed that fish oil modulates immune mediator activity as well as
provides support for joint flexibility. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring
compound necessary for the synthesis of proteoglycans, the protein molecules
responsible for giving cartilage its strength and resilience. Sulfate, another
component of proteoglycans, works synergistically with glucosamine to enhance
cartilage metabolism. Boswellia serrata is an Ayurvedic herb that has a long
history of use for connective tissue and joint support. Boswellic acids, the
active terpenoid constituents of boswellia, may maintain healthy 5-lipoxygenase
enzyme activity and healthy leukotriene metabolism to promote joint comfort.
Curcumin also promotes joint comfort by supporting healthy histamine production,
eicosanoid metabolism and neutrophil response.* Pure Encapsulations EPA/DHA products are
molecularly distilled and microfiltered. They are sourced mainly from sardines
and anchovies off the coast of Chile or Norway. They have been tested for
contaminants including heavy metals, dioxans and furans, PCBs, peroxides and
anisidine. Glucosamine sulfate is derived from crab and shrimp. Boswellia
serrata extract is derived from gum resin and standardized to contain 70%
boswellic acids. Curcuma longa (turmeric) extract is standardized to contain 97%
curcuminoids. Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) is derived from soy lecithin. Pure Encapsulations recommends 4 softgels daily,
in divided doses, with or between meals. Certain ingredients may cause burping,
gastrointestinal upset, nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal bloating. Boswellia may
be contraindicated in those with pre-existing gastritis or gastro-esophageal
reflux disease (GERD). Fish oils have a mild blood thinning effect and may
influence glucose metabolism in some individuals, typically at larger levels.
Curcumin should be used with caution in patients with bile duct obstruction. If
pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking this product. Studies suggest boswellia moderates 5-lipoxygenase
and therefore may interact with leukotriene inhibitors. Certain ingredients may
react with blood thinning medications. Consult your physician for more
information. Volker D, Fitzgerald P, Major G, Garg M. Efficacy of fish
