What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is a compound that is naturally made in humans as part of the structure of cartilage. In the body, it is a naturally occurring amino sugar that is used to make complex proteins. Some of these complex proteins are the major components of the cartilage extracellular matrix. This complex connective tissue matrix is responsible for cushioning joints and bones.

Glucosamine helps promote healthy joints and comfortable movement. Glucosamine is present in high quantities in articular cartilage, intervertebral disc, synovial fluid and other joint structures. Articular cartilage is the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints

Why do I Need Glucosamine?

As you get older, your levels of glucosamine begin to drop, which leads to joint concerns. Glucosamine is a key structural component in cartilage; the tough connective tissue that cushions the joints. Glucosamine helps promote healthy cartilage and joints. Articular cartilage is the healthy cartilage in our joints that facilitates movement. It allows the bones to glide over each other with less friction.

Where Do I Get Glucosamine?

There are no major food sources of glucosamine so it is challenging to get in your daily diet, you must get itfrom supplements. Glucosamine supplements usually are derived from marine shellfish. These supplements often come in tablet and capsule forms. Doses vary considerably between and within preparations. A commonly used dosage is 1500 mg per day.

Solgar® Vision Guard Plus is an antioxidant formula containing several vitamins and minerals to assist in minimising the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are produced by the body when you breathe, digest food, exercise or even sleep. They are naturally occuring as they are created by emotional stress, ultraviolet light, radiation and air pollution. Free radicals damage the body by causing deterioration of the cells, lowering the defences against diseases and putting the body into a ‘stress’ state. To counter the effect of free radicals, a balance of antioxidants is required. The most important antioxidants include: Beta-carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium and components found in certain plants including Turmeric, and Ginkgo Biloba. Antioxidants can be obtained by eating a healthy and balanced diet, but taking a supplement might be desirable to achieve an optimal intake of antioxidants. The special Solgar® Vision Guard Plus formula combines the botanical Ginkgo Biloba with Vitamins C, A and E, alongside minerals such as Zinc and Selenium, all of which have strong antioxidant qualities, plus Bilberry and Lutein. Solgar® Vision Guard Plus is to be taken as 2 vegetable capsules daily, and it is suitable for those on a vegan diet. The different sources of antioxidants provide a holistic approach for daily wellbeing.

Zinc Gluconate provides a mineral with vital functions in the body. This supplement contains in its gluconate ingredient the 3% of mineral, equivalent to 35 mg of Zinc.

ZINC BENEFITS:

This nutrient is involved in prostate functions and the development of reproductive organs. Regulates the activity of oil glands and is necessary for collagen formation and protein synthesis. This mineral is a component of the insulin needed to facilitate the use of glucose as energy in the body, and generally for the use of nutrients during metabolism.

For its function, Zinc can have a beneficial effect on the liver and is essential for bone formation. The body requires a sufficient amount of this mineral to maintain the proper concentration of vitamin E and increase the absorption of vitamin A.

Zinc is a naturally occurring mineral. Zinc is important for growth and for the development and health of body tissues & stimulates the enzymes needed in the division and growth of cells.

 Vitamin E is well known for its effects to prevent oxidation of lipids or fats in the membranes of cells. Its most potent form is known as alpha-tocopherol. This vitamin is found in various foods such as green vegetables, seeds, nuts, legumes, eggs, milk, vegetable oils, wheat germ and meat.

Benefits of Vitamin E

The antioxidant effect of this nutrient protects other fat soluble vitamins from damage by oxygen. Particularly benefits the use of vitamin A in the body. Thanks to these characteristics vitamin E is widely named as an anti-aging supplement.

Among its functions, vitamin E is needed for blood circulation, normal blood clotting and overall cardiovascular health. It also helps to have healthy muscles and nerves, strengthens the walls of blood vessels and promotes healthy hair and skin.

 Potassium is a mineral necessary for the health of the nervous system in general, and to regulate the heartbeat. Its functions are involved with sodium to control water balance in the body.

At a cellular level, Potassium is required for the chemical reactions and electrochemical processes. It is also essential for the transfer of nutrients through the cell membrane and secretion of hormones.

Natural supplement made with Melatonin and Vitamin B-6.

Melatonin is a hormone that the body produces naturally in the pineal gland. Its pattern is similar to other important hormones for the processes of aging, such as DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) and HGH (Human Growth Hormone).

Production is abundant at early age and starts to decrease after puberty. The functions at cellular level are involved in synchronizing life cycles, particularly day and night hours. In the nucleus of cells, Melatonin supports the integrity of its structure.

This substance is important for hormone production in the body. It also helps the health of the immune and cardiovascular systems, and combats the effects of oxidation.

Vitamin B-6

Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is necessary for normal functions of the brain and nervous system health. It is important for genetic processes controlling reproduction and development of cells. It also helps maintain the balance of potassium and sodium. Its interaction with various enzymes helps immune system functions and the absorption of vitamin B12 in the body.
