Glucosamine: Promotes Joint Health†
Glucosamine helps support healthy cartilage and maintain structural integrity of joints and connective tissue. Glucosamine is a building block for joint fluid, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, membrane, and blood vessels.
Schiff® Glucosamine Plus Vitamin D3 contains 1500 milligrams of glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl), which has the highest potency of active glucosamine among glucosamine forms. While most brands use glucosamine sulfate that is only 65 percent glucosamine, the glucosamine HCl in Schiff® Glucosamine Plus Vitamin D3 uses nearly 83 percent glucosamine for a stronger dose of joint support.
Schiff® Glucosamine Plus Vitamin D3 provides 2,000 IU of joint-healthy Vitamin D3. As we age, our bones lose calcium, which can compromise overall bone health and joint movement. Vitamin D3 addresses this problem by helping bones absorb calcium better and helps bones retain the calcium already in them.
Schiff® Glucosamine Plus Vitamin D3 contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a potent form of one of the main lubricating components found in your joints. As we get older, our HA tends to decrease, which can reduce joint cushioning. Since HA is naturally present in your body, you already have built-in pathways to absorb and use it. The HA in Joint Fluid is similar in molecular size to naturally occurring HA, and a clinical study shows that when taken orally, this form of HA is absorbed directly into the joints.
