Who needs Glucosamine? Our bodies produce glucosamine naturally. However, as we grow older we lose the ability to produce sufficient quantities. Having enough glucosamine is essential for creating the nutrients we need to produce synovial fluid, the fluid that lubricates our cartilage and maintains healthy joints. When you have a glucosamine deficiency, cartilage hardens and bone spurs develop. This leads to deformities in the joints and it begins to limit your mobility. This can be very painful.

What is Glucosamine? Glucosamine is an amino monosaccharide, derived from cellular glucose metabolism. It has several biological functions: • It is a key component of the extra cellular matrix of cartilage • It stimulates joint function and repair • It helps maintain healthy joints • It renews synovial fluid and lubricates joints There are several forms of glucosamine. We use glucosamine HCL, which is more stable than Glucosamine sulfate, but it is equally bioavailable.

What is Chondroitin sulfate? Chondroitin Sulfate is a naturally occurring component of cartilage that aids in the lubrication and cushioning of joints. It also has important biological functions: It serves to attract fluids into proteoglycan molecules which assists you in two ways: • It draws nutrients into your cartilage • It increases the flow of fluid into your cartilage, adding resiliency It protects existing cartilage from premature degeneration by: • Blocking "bad" enzymes that destroy cartilage • Preventing nutrient depletion

It also provides structure and flexibility to your joints. It improves the absorption of glucosamine. There are several sources of chondroitin sulfate. HerbaSway has selected the exclusive shark cartilage because of its improved purity.

The Herbs:

Kudzu ( Pueraria Lobata) contains isoflavones, constituents that are associated with improving the microcirculation and blood flow through the coronary arteries. Compared to Gingko, Kudzu enjoys a longer lasting effect, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Gingko Biloba it is one of the best herbs available for promoting blood flow and oxygenation throughout the entire body. It has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also reduces inflammation in the blood vessels, and helps prevent platelet aggregation and blood clotting that can lead to blocked arteries. Our Gingko extract is standardized for 25% flavoglycosides, the components most responsible for the health benefits. The sweet herbs such as Lo Han fruit and Stevia, together with the natural lemon flavor confer a great taste to this product, making it not just a healthy, but also a delicious drink.

The Minerals and Vitamins Manganese (Manganese Gluconate) • Enhances the effectiveness of both glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates • Helps to synthesize the production of healthy cartilage • Essential for a healthy immune system and aids in the production of mucopolysaccharides, critical for maintaining healthy joints

Liquid Glucosamine™ provides 100% RDI for manganese Silica (Orthosilicic acid) • Necessary for maintaining skin, ligaments, tendons and bone integrity • Required for prolyhydroxylase, an enzyme, involved in formation of collagen in bone, cartilage and other connective tissue Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) • Mobilizes your body's self-defense mechanisms • It is a powerful antioxidant required to produce collagen

Liquid Glucosamine™ provides 100% RDI for vitamin C
