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.

Silicon Dioxide
Description:Silicon, atomic number 14, is the second most abundant element on Earth, after oxygen. It is present in the human body in small amounts (such as in the skin, hair, and nails) and is considered a trace mineral in that regard. Dietary sources of silicon include oats, barley, rice, and some fruits/vegetables. Silicon is a popular dietary supplement, often consumed in the form of silica, which is a chemical compound made up of silicon and oxygen, or as silicic acid (also known as orthosilicic acid). Another common form of silicon utilized is Choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA), which is the active ingredient in the popular product Biosil. Silicon is used for its purported effects to improve the health and appearance of the skin, hair, and nails. It has also historically been used for other health conditions, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline.

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.
