Glucosamine, as many
clinical studies have shown, can help to
keep joints healthy and may help to
relieve joint
pains. Anecdotally many people swear by it!
Up till now most
glucosamine products were available in
tablet form, but the recommended
daily dose of glucosamine sulphate/hydrochloride is
1500mg, so two
large tablets need to be taken which many people find too
difficult to swallow and the aftertaste
unpleasant. Easy to take,
sugar free and with a highly
palatable natural citrus flavour
Flexi-melt has been specially developed to make
glucosamine supplementation much easier, ensuring more people can benefit from its
clinically proven effects (over 50 clinical studies
support the efficacy of glucosamine).
Glucosamine is a
naturally occurring substance, it is an
amino sugar, produced in the body from
glucose, which is vital to the body's
connective tissue, and is used in the
maintenance and regeneration of healthy
cartilage in joints. However, age,
injury and disease deplete the natural
level of glucosamine in the body and many people now
choose to take
glucosamine supplements.
However there are
two forms of glucosamine: glucosamine sulphate and
glucosamine hydrochloride. Glucosamine hydrochloride is a
smaller molecule than sulphate and contains a
higher percentage (83 per cent) of glucosamine than the sulphate (65 per cent). This means that
you need to take
less glucosamine hydrochloride to achieve the
recommended daily dose of 1500mg. Always read the label carefully.
In addition,
compared to glucosamine sulphate,
glucosamine hcl does not contain
potassium salts and may therefore be a
preferable choice for people who are taking
blood pressure medication.
Flexi-melt utilises, a unique "
Soft-melt" system, which means that tablets feel
smooth on the tongue before quickly
dissolving in the mouth. Each
Flexi-melt tablet contains 750mg of glucosamine hydrochloride, and delivers a high percentage (83 per cent) of actual glucosamine,
more than many other brands available.
The
recommended daily dose of Flexi-melt is
two tablets, each one containing 750mg of glucosamine hcl providing 620mg of glucosamine base.
Flexi-melt is available in boxes of 30 at a RRP of
£9.99, they can be bought from
leading pharmacies and health food shops and can also be
purchased direct from Forum Health on www.flexi-melt.co.uk
