Glucosamine Sulfate
While many products today use different versions of Glucosamine, such as Glucosamine Hydrochloride,
InvigoFlex® GS specifically uses Glucosamine Sulfate as it has been proven in many different studies.
Glucosamine Sulfate is one of the most popular and proven ingredients used to help with joint discomfort.
As a natural ingredient, Glucosamine Sulfate is essential in maintaining cartilage in the joints while
defending, strengthening, and promoting overall joint flexibility. Glucosamine Sulfate has also been
investigated for its ability to modify underlying cartilaginous degeneration in joints, and therefore to
potentially provide relief to patients. The majority of studies have demonstrated the ability of Glucosamine
Sulfate to alleviate symptoms of joint discomfort due to overexertion and exercise as well as support joint
function and cartilage. Glucosamine Sulfate has been used in many pre-clinical and clinical studies. Leading
medical journals have cautioned that without head-to-head trials, other glucosamine products, like
Glucosamine hydrochloride (HCI), may not provide the same benefits as Glucosamine Sulfate.
Chondroitin Sulfate
It is rarely asked what type of Chondroitin Sulfate is being used. Is it proven? Is it safe? How much purity
does it have? With InvigoFlex® CS, we set out to include the very best Chondroitin ingredient. Our
Chondroitin Sulfate is one of the most researched on the market. It was used in more than 40 preclinical,
clinical and epidemiological studies.
The typical Chondroitin Sulfate that you find in the market today may use different chemical structures,
especially on the levels of richness, molecular weight, dosages and impurity profiles. This means, you may
find Chondroitin Sulfate ingredients that do not contain the recommended dosage of 1,200 mg and may contain
purity levels of 90% or worse. Our Chondroitin Sulfate uses the recommended dosage found to be the most
effective in studies while also containing max purity levels of 95% - 105%.
Boswellia Serrata
A relatively new ingredient to the joint market is Boswellia Serrata. Also known as Indian Franincense,
Boswellia Serrata, a plant and natural extract, has been shown to have many different health applications,
including supporting joint health.
It's natural properties have also been known to have anti-inflammatory properties as well as antioxidant
benefits and may even help with reducing pain from overexertion and exercise. The benefits of Boswellia
Serrata have been validated and confirmed in multiple clinical studies. The gum resin of Boswellia Serrata
is valued as a source of healthful "phytonutrients". Such extracts are used as ingredients in dietary
supplements and cosmetics, to support healthy aging. However, the most popular use of Boswellia Serrata is
in joint health as it supports normal joint functions and mobility.
Curcumin (Turmeric)
Curcumin, also known as Turmeric, has a long history of uses to address many different health conditions,
including supporting joint health. It is a plant that grows in India and Indonesia and is related to the
ginger family. Curcumin has been known to contain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and can help
with exercise related pain, stiffness, and physical function.
It is important to remember that not all curcumin ingredients are alike. Ordinary curcumin is difficult for
the body to absorb. Bioavailability is key maximum absorption. Our extract was shown to be about two times
faster and approximately 29 times more bioavailable than curcuminoids form unformulated curcuminoid
mixtures. In addition, our specific form of Curcumin is considered the most studied turmeric extract with
30+ studies involving over 2000 individuals.
