Osteo Bi-Flex®- About Joint Health

Q: What is Glucosamine?

A: Glucosamine is an amino saccharide that occurs naturally in the body. Glucosamine is used by the body as a precursor for cartilage synthesis. Glucosamine is also necessary to keep cartilage tissue lubricated and maintain its naturally slippery texture.* All Osteo Bi-Flex® products utilize Glucosamine HCl, which has been found in clinical studies to support joint comfort, mobility and flexibility.*

Q: What is Chondroitin Sulfate?
A: Chondroitin Sulfates are long chains of sugar units which help attract and hold fluid into the cartilage. Chondroitin Sulfate also promotes cartilage renewal.* Chondroitin has been found in clinical studies to help maintain joint space and to promote mobility and flexibility.*

Q: What is Joint Shield™?
A: The ingredients in Joint Shield work to guard against the action of enzymes that affect joint health.* This proprietary blend includes the patent-pending ingredient 5-LOXIN®. Taking 5-LOXIN® showed improvement in Joint Comfort within 7 days¹. 5-LOXIN® is a super concentrated extract of Boswellia serrata, which helps with joint flare-ups.* The 5-LOXIN® in Joint Shield™ is ten times more concentrated than typical Boswellia extracts.

Q: How do Glucosamine and Chondroitin work together with Joint Shield™?
A: Working together, Glucosamine and Chondroitin stimulate the synthesis of new cartilage.* Glucosamine and Chondroitin have been studied together in clinical trials more than any other combination of joint ingredients. Studies have confirmed their ability to promote joint comfort, flexibility and mobility when taken in combination.* While the combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin helps to rebuild and repair joints, the proprietary blend of ingredients in Joint Shield work to guard against the actions of enzymes that affect joint health*.*
