Osteo+

The combination of the six ingredients in Osteo+ provides many of the nutrients required for normal functionality of joints and bones. It is ideal for anyone who’s very active through their work or their passion for exercise, as well as those that are determined to stay active throughout their life. This special combination of ingredients has been designed in partnership with sports scientist Professor Greg Whyte OBE PhD FACSM.

A unique combination of six natural ingredients

Chondroitin is a molecule that occurs naturally in the body. Chondroitin helps keep cartilage healthy by absorbing fluid (particularly water) into the connective tissue.

Glucosamine is a compound found naturally in the body, made from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is needed for the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Glucosamine also helps prevent the breakdown of cartilage. Glucosamine also pulls water into the cartilage (to maintain the 70% water content of cartilage) providing cushioning and flexibility in the joint.

Hyaluronic Acid is a protein that exists naturally in all living organisms. Hyaluronic acid performs many important functions - it helps deliver nutrients and carry toxins from cells that do not have a blood supply, such as those found in cartilage. Not only does it keep joints lubricated, but hyaluronic acid also encourages water retention in other bodily tissues.

Collagen Hydrolysate’s main function within the body is to strengthen cartilage and stimulate the production of further collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein in connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments.

Vitamin C works in partnership with collagen to maintain cartilage and enable normal function of joint and bones. A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C is a vital co-factor in the synthesis of collagen.

MSM (Methyl sulfonyl methane) is an organic source of biologically active sulphur. It plays a vital role in cell regeneration and is important for the integrity of our joints and cartilage.
