Lack of glucosamine can leave cartilage unable to function as a shock absorber causing joint pain and swelling. The body's inability to produce glucosamine is considered a major factor for the development of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.

Benefits

• Helps stimulate repair of damaged cartilage.
• Contains uña de gato for increased overall efficacy.
• Supports the structural, nervous and immune systems.

Our Product Advantage
After discovering that glucosamine stimulates the repair of damaged cartilage, researchers administered it by injection. Later, they determined that oral amounts were equally effective. Together glucosamine and uña de gato make a “joint effort” to provide nutrients hard to obtain elsewhere.

Ingredients
Glucosamine sulfate is combined with the herb uña de gato (cat's claw) for its anti-inflammatory properties. Each Glucosamine tablet provides 400 mg of glucosamine sulfate with 50 mg of uña de gato.

Recommendations
Take four Nature's Sunshine Glucosamine capsules daily with food.

How Does it Work?
A natural compound made in the body, glucosamine stimulates the growth of new cartilage, which is especially important to those needing more strength in their joints or wherever cartilage is found. Glucosamine is readily absorbed by both the blood and cells. The molecule is very small, easily diffused and water-soluble. The powerful alkaloids found in the bark of uña de gato are not only wonderfully tonic, but they also specifically feed the immune, digestive and structural systems. Uña de Gato has become one of the world’s supreme tonic herbs, comparable to shark cartilage, pau d’arco, eleuthero, and reishi and shiitake mushrooms.

Scientific Data
Scientists at Nature’s Sunshine wanted to offer this important nutritional aid with one more advantage—uña de gato. Known also as “cat’s claw,” the bark of this large, tropical vine was found by the Ashaninka Indians to have extraordinary benefits. Scientific studies seem to substantiate claimed results.

While already popular in South America, uña de gato is being studied in universities in Germany, Italy, England and Austria for evidence of its antioxidant and tissuesupporting properties.
