Glucosamine sulfate
Your body produces glucosamine naturally from nutrients it takes in from your diet. It uses this glucosamine as a building block to help repair damaged cartilage. However, as you get older, or if you are injured, your body produces less natural glucosamine.
- Glucosamine is a source of specific protein-carbohydrate compounds that help to nourish the cartilage tissues in your joints.
- Glucosamine sulfate is glucosamine that is bound to sulfur to keep it stable. Glucosamine sulfate is derived from shrimp, prawn or crab shells.
- Glucosamine sulfate supplements have been scientifically shown to help relieve joint pain.
- They can also help to ease joint swelling and inflammation, and may reduce joint stiffness.
Chondroitin sulfate
Chondroitin is another natural substance that your body uses as a building block for joint cartilage repair.
- The Chondroitin sulfate in Healtheries Jointex Plus comes from bovine (cow) cartilage. That means it contains all the compounds your body needs to maintain and rebuild your joint cartilage.
- Chondroitin sulfate acts much like sponge to draw water into your joint cartilage. This increases the cartilage’s ability to cushion your bones.
- Chondroitin also plays a role in blocking the enzymes that cause cartilage breakdown.
Fish Oil and Omega-3 essential fatty acids
Fish Oil is one of nature’s richest sources of important Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs)
- EFAs are essential nutrients that, much like vitamins and minerals, your body can’t make for itself. That means you need to get them through your diet.
- Fish Oil is a particularly rich source of the EPA and DHA essential fatty acids
- Research has also shown that EPA & DHA can help to reduce many kinds of inflammation – including in sore, stiff joints.
- Healtheries fish oil is extensively purity tested for heavy metals, pesticides and other pollutants. Then Healtheries encapsulates and packs it right here in New Zealand.
