Glucosamine is a compound that is naturally made in humans as part of the structure of cartilage. In the body, it is a naturally occurring amino sugar that is used to make complex proteins. Some of these complex proteins are the major components of the cartilage extracellular matrix. This complex connective tissue matrix is responsible for cushioning joints and bones. Glucosamine helps promote healthy joints and comfortable movement. Glucosamine is present in high quantities in articular cartilage, intervertebral disc, synovial fluid and other joint structures. Articular cartilage is the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. As you get older, your levels of glucosamine begin to drop, which leads to joint concerns. Glucosamine is a key structural component in cartilage; the tough connective tissue that cushions the joints. Glucosamine helps promote healthy cartilage and joints. Articular cartilage is the healthy cartilage in our joints that facilitates movement. It allows the bones to glide over each other with less friction.

5-LOXIN Advanced is a novel composition extracted from Boswellia serrata tree that produces a highly scented sap that has been a prized substance since ancient times. Boswellia serrata extract is deeply rooted in the ancient history of Boswellia serrata tree and contains boswellic acids. 5-LOXIN Advanced contains high concentrations of the boswellic acid, AKBA which is an important Boswellic acid that helps with occasional joint flare-ups. 5-LOXIN Advanced is a joint health ingredient. Recent studies have shown that modern Boswellia serrata extracts provide powerful benefits in promoting joint comfort and joint health.
