Herbs of Gold Glucosamine MAX

 Glucosamine MAX contains a clinically trialled dose of glucosamine

hydrochloride as well as chondroitin, MSM, silica, zinc, manganese,

glycine and proline that are required for the formation of

healthy cartilage. It provides high-strength Ginger to help relieve

inflammation.

• Glucosamine is a component of glycosaminoglycans and

proteoglycans of the cartilage matrix and is required for the

production of proteoglycans, mucopolysaccharides and hyaluronic

acid. These substances form joint tissue, such as articular cartilage,

tendons and synovial fluid.

• Exogenous glucosamine is primarily derived from shellfish and exists

in two forms - glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl) and glucosamine

sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate requires compound stabilisers in

the form of salts and has 74% purity. Glucosamine HCl lacks the

sulfate group and has 99% purity, providing a higher percentage of

glucosamine compared to sulfate forms1

.

• Chondroitin belongs to a class of polymers known as

glucosaminoglycans and act as the flexible connecting matrix

between cartilage and connective tissue.

• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring source of

sulfur. Sulfur is a component of many tissues in the body and plays a

role in the development and maintenance of connective tissue.
