Glucomax

For the regeneration and support of the support tissues of joints, specific building  blocks, such as organic sulphur are needed, they  are found very little in a normal diet, such as organic sulphur. This mineral is known for its lightening effect on joint complaints and chronic pain. Glucomax also contains some very exotic but immensely powerful natural ingredients. In this way, chondroitin is extracted from shark cartilage. This is a by-product of the waste in the production of shark meat, and would otherwise be lost. By obtaining it from this source it has an optimal concentration. Chondroitin is an important building block for the firmness of the cartilage and would decrease the breakdown of cartilage.  

Did you know that cartilage does not contain blood vessels, so that all the building material and nutrients in the cartilage have to ‘seep through ‘? It consists largely of a kind of watery gel, collagen, proteins and long chains of sugar molecules. Glucosmine is a building block of these chains, and stimulates the formation and recovery of the articular cartilage. This compound is extracted from the green-lipped mussel, which is found only in the extremely clean waters on the coast in New Zealand. It is not possible to keep this mussel alive in another place, not even in an aquarium. Their healing effect was discovered several decades ago because the indigenous Maori on the coast were significantly less affected by joint problems than their tribes in the interior. What seems to be? They regularly ate green-lipped mussels, unlike the inland Maori. Unfortunately, our Zeeland mussels do not contain this miracle component… 

Together with Chondroitin, Glucosamine helps in the regeneration of tendons and joints, and works anti-inflammatory. What a powerduo! Many top riders also use these ingredients to keep the joints of their precious horses in good condition. A must to serve if your dog no longer moves smoothly or suffers from stiff joints. It is recommended for older animals, quadrupeds in recovery period or sports animals. Preventively, it can also be administered for the maintenance of a supple musculoskeletal system.  

There are also other ingredients in this mix, including harpago and equisetum, a primal plant that formed whole forests 400 million years ago. The latter contains an abundance of minerals, and stimulates the production, restoration and suppleness of the connective tissue. The flavonoids and saponins in the plant are responsible for this. Saponins have an antibacterial and antifungal effect and flavonoids are potent oxidants. They help to make the connective tissues more elastic, from cartilage and tendons to ligaments. Harpago or devil’s claw also works anti-inflammatory and pain killing. The Bushmen in the Kalahari desert, for example, used it as a painkiller against rheumatism pains. Because of the anti-inflammatory effect,harpago is also often used as a support for all kinds of afflictions such as arthritis, muscular pain, tendon inflammation and sports injuries. Harpago and equisetum are natural sources that neutralise free radicals and help prevent inflammatory reactions. The ultimate cocktail for muscles, tendons and joints.
