Matol Glucosamine is different from common glucosamine
products on the market. It was designed by natural health product
specialists and our state-of-the-art laboratory. It is a unique liquid
formula from botanical and marine sources with the following ingredients
for joints and cartilage. Each tablespoon contains:
* 500 mg of Glucosamine (Sulfate)
* 500 mg of Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM)
* 150 mg of Devil’s Claw
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage.
It is a form of an
amino sugar that plays a major role in cartilage formation and repair.
It is beneficial in
the treatment of osteoarthritis and has been proven effective in
easing osteoarthritis pain,
rehabilitating cartilage, and repairing joints that have been damaged
from osteoarthritis.
Many studies have shown that glucosamine is beneficial in the treatment
of osteoarthritis.
Each person produces a certain amount of glucosamine within their
bodies. People lose
the capacity to make enough glucosamine as they grow older. The cartilage
in their
weight-bearing joints, such as the hips, knees, and hands is destroyed,
then hardens and
forms bone spurs, causing pain, deformed joints, and limited joint
movement.
Supplementing with glucosamine can help replace this deficiency and
restore the proper
glucosamine balance as it is not found in the food we eat.
Glucosamine is a safe and effective natural supplement that is been
shown to be safer to
use than NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Glucosamine
has not been
linked with long-term detrimental effects so common with NSAIDS making
it safe for
long-term use.
Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM)
MSM, derived from plants, is a form of sulfur that is found naturally
in the human body.
It supports healthy connective tissues like tendons, ligaments, and
muscle so it is important
in conditions such as arthritis, muscle pains, bursitis, etc. Experiments
have shown that
the sulfur contained in MSM helps form the essential amino acids
methionine and cysteine.
These amino acids are mainly involved in the reconstruction of cartilage.
The sulfur
concentration in arthritic cartilage has been shown to be about one-third
the level
compared with normal cartilage.
Devil’s Claw Extract
Native to southern Africa, Devil's Claw root or Harpagophytum has
been used for
thousands of years in remedies to treat pain and complications of
pregnancy and in
topical ointments to heal sores, boils, and other skin problems.
Since its introduction into
Europe in the 1900s, it has been used for many conditions including
relief from low back
and neck pain and in reducing inflammation. In fact, mounting evidence
suggests that
Devil's Caw root may help relieve pain and inflammation in people
with arthritis and other
painful disorders. Several studies have found that taking Devil's
Claw for several months
substantially reduces pain and improves physical functioning in people
with osteoarthritis.
The Advantages of a Liquid Formula
Matol Glucosamine was designed in liquid form to give your body
the highest
absorption per intake. It also guarantees superior bioavailability
for quicker results.
- A liquid formulation is immediately absorbed
into the blood stream for
immediate effect. Pills require digestion and take several hours
to yield little effect
- Liquid is much easier to swallow especially
for children and seniors.
- Liquid is prepared
from fresh ingredients.
“Studies show that joint discomfort
can improve with regular use
of glucosamine sulfate. Additional studies have shown that
regular use of collagen hydrolysate provides additional joint
protection. In a recent study, collagen hydrolysate was shown to
improve leg joint strength and flexiblity with regular daily use.
Personally, as a dietitian, I recommend glucosamine and collagen
hydrolysate to physically active people as well as baby boomers
regularly. These products are safe and effective for all people.”
