Glucosamine and Chondroitin
search
Glucosamine and chondroitin is a combined supplement with the benefits of glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate. Bio-Glucosamine MEGA is intended for joint support, cartilage, and bones.
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring molecule produced by the body, but levels reduce as we get older. In addition, the product contains vitamin C which contributes to collagen formation for normal functioning of bones and cartilage. Chondroitin is often excluded from supplements because of its relatively high cost.

Glucosamine and chondroitin benefits may include support for cartilage and bones with an anti-inflammatory effect. People with damage to joints through osteo, rheumatoid arthritis or family history of genetic susceptibility to arthritis may benefit from glucosamine and chondroitin.
Oral administration of Bio-Glucosamine Mega means the glucosamine and chondroitin tablets are absorbed into the body and taken by the blood into the joints. Glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate stimulates the formation of normal joint cartilage and may provide an anti-inflammatory effect. Also helps to maintain the correct fluid balance in cartilage, as well as acting as a joint lubricant.
We recommend 1-3 glucosamine and chondroitin tablets daily with food, or as directed by a physician.
Do not take if you are allergic to shellfish.

General:
Relative to the food we eat, the size of individual nutrients are actually incredibly small. As a result, we need to use units other than grammes (g) to describe them. Here's what the common units for nutrients are:
Grammes (G)- often used to describe nutritional powders. Most teaspoons of powder weigh approximately 5g.
Milligrams (Mg)- 1000mg is equal to 1g
Micrograms (Mcg or μg)- 1000μg is equal to 1mg
International Units (IU)- Slightly more complex than milligrams (mg) and micrograms (μg), International Units measure differently from nutrient to nutrient. The most common nutrients that are likely to be measured in IU are vitamins D, E and A.
- Vitamin D: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.025 μg of D2 or D3
- Vitamin A: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.3 mcg retinol
- Beta-carotene (provitamin A): 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.6 μg of beta carotene
- Vitamin E: 1 IU is the equivalent of 0.67 mg d-alpha-tocopherol

Gerry - 5th October 2015:
Had a problem with my knee joint. GP couldn't help and then recommended to Bio Glucosamine Mega a year ago and now I don't suffer atall. I'm in my late 60s and generally fit and well and so it is good to remove a troublesome joint from the ageing process. Long may it continue!
