Glucosamine HCl
Glucosamine is a natural compound found in the body, particularly in the fluid that surrounds joints. It is often used as a dietary supplement to help with joint health, particularly for conditions such as osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is believed to work by helping to reduce inflammation, promoting the repair of damaged cartilage, and slowing down the loss of cartilage. There are several different forms of glucosamine supplements, including glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and N-acetyl-glucosamine. Glucosamine sulfate is the most commonly used form in supplements. It is important to note that glucosamine sulfate is derived from shellfish (specifically the exoskeletons of shrimp, lobster, and crabs) and can be problematic for people with shellfish allergies.

Avocado/Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASU) powder
Description:Avocado, produced by the avocado tree, is a fruit known for its creamy texture and thick, bumpy skin. Commonly consumed as Hass avocados in the US, these fruits weigh between 200 to 500 grams and are rich in oleic acid, akin to almonds or olive oil. Avocado oil, used in cooking, faces quality concerns such as oxidation and adulteration with soybean oil in commercial products. Nutritionally, avocados are high in protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats, while also containing potassium, beta-sitosterol, and various phytochemicals and vitamins. Studies suggest that avocado consumption may improve cardiovascular health by enhancing endothelial function and reducing postprandial blood glucose. Additionally, avocado compounds like persenone A and B exhibit antioxidant properties with potential chemopreventive effects against inflammation-associated carcinogens.

decaffeinated Green Tea extract
Description:Green tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is native to Asia and is widely consumed throughout the world. Green tea has a mild, slightly grassy flavor and is typically lighter in color and less astringent than black tea. Green tea is a rich source of antioxidants, particularly a group of compounds called catechins. These antioxidants are thought to help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Green tea is also a good source of other nutrients, including vitamin C and several B vitamins. Green tea is often consumed for a number of purported health benefits including reducing the risk of heart disease, immune-stimulating effects, and weight loss. Oral green tea supplements, containing dried powder, are most often utilized for the caffeine content and used as an appetite suppressant for weight loss.
