We have added both Glucosamine Sulfate and HCL to our product because of the way that people respond to the two different forms of glucosamine. Rather than guess which form will work the best for you, we give you both. Remember, we use high quality glucosamine in our product and we NEVER use the salts (KCl or NaCl), which rob you of 30% of your actual active glucosamine per dose.

HCL is another form of glucosamine which some people respond well to. Flexicose contains both HCL and glucosamine sulfate to ensure that your body will have the greatest chance of benefiting. Many products only contain one or the other forms.

Both forms of glucosamine have been used extensively in clinical trials with excellent results. Glucosamine HCl is used because it is about 25% more pure than glucosamine sulfate and is a more usable form of glucosamine by the body. In fact, the National Institutes of Health is currently conducting a large scale glucosamine clinical trial using glucosamine HCI, not glucosamine sulfate.

Glucosamine sulfate is a form of glucosamine that is easily absorbed and has been extensively studied. Potassium chloride is added to provide product stability. Some professionals believe that their clients may experience enhanced joint support from the sulfate and potassium that this particular form provides. Glucosamine HCl is believed to be a slightly more stable form of glucosamine and has been only recently studied for joint support. Both have been shown to support joint health.

We supplement these 2 important nutrients because foods that contain Glucosamine and Chondroitin would need to be included at such high levels that the natural marine sources would overpower the flavor.

Numerous studies show that glucosamine sulfate is beneficial in maintaining the health of joints in arthritic patients and relieving pain. This is the form of glucosamine that has been helpful in the scientific research, so we do not sell any other form of glucosamine.

A sulfate is a cleansing agent, or a surfactant, that produces a foaming action, and is widely used in almost all toiletries, including soaps, shampoos and other hair products, body washes, and toothpaste. They are often listed as sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, etc. Research has shown that sulfates can cause skin irritation and deterioration of skin cells, especially to sensitive skin. Some believe that sulfates may be a cause of cancer.

Aluminum sulfate acidifies (reduces the pH of the soil). Some plants have a high requirement for microelements, which are more available in the acid pH range 4.5 to 5.5. These acid preferring plants include: Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Holly, Birch, Blue Hydrangeas, Blueberries, Begonias, Camellia's, Fuchsia's, Gardenia's & Magnolia's. Gardeners realize that the key to increased yields and a successful garden is knowing their soil pH and nutrient levels.

Phenterprin HCL is an extremely powerful pharmaceutical-grade oral appetite suppressant created for those who are significantly overweight. It helps you feel less hungry while giving you more energy. The recommended initial dose for Phenterprin HCL in 30mg capsules is to start with one Phenterprin HCL 30mg capsule per day. Your doctor can best determine the appropriate dose for you.

Most pets will simply eat Flexicose with their food. If you still have trouble simply giving your pet Flexicose, consider mixing their daily dose in with their food instead of just pouring on top and that should fix the problem right up. Pets can be finicky so if that does not work you can always simply try combining it with their favorite treats and then move to mixing it with their food so they grow accustomed to the taste.

Flexicose is offered for both humans and pets. They are identical formulas. Either can be used for pets or humans.

Flexicose has 120mg of chondroitin per serving. And since it is liquid, it is very well absorbed. 120 mg is all that is required by the body to ensure healthy cartilage. Products which offer more chondroitin are simply not needed. Your body will not process more per day than 120 mg.

Chondroitin sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan that has an essential role in the formation of joint cartilage.* It is one of the primary nutritional components in a well-balanced program for healthy joint support and maintenance.*
