GlucoPlex: Glucosamine with CoFactors for chronic joint complaints.

GlucoPlex contains an array of ingredients that participate in maintaining connective tissue.
'Chondroprotection' is an important new concept in rheumatology, referring to the use of agents that actually build and protect the joint surfaces rather than merely suppressing symptomatic expressions of joint erosion.
Glucosamine is an amino sugar, and the core building block of mucopolysaccharides, which form a primary component of the ground substance of articular cartilage.
Glucosamine sulfate is an important precursor of glycosaminoglycans, which are critical constituents of joint tissue. Supplementary glucosamine sulfate may have a positive impact on joint health (Ann Pharmacother 1998;32:580-7).
Glucosamine sulfate has been shown clinically to enhance the range of motion and comfort of joints in individuals with joint problems (JAMA 2000;283:1469-75, Ann Pharmacother 1998;32:580-7).
Recent research has shown significant joint protection after three years in subjects taking glucosamine sulfate (Lancet 2001;357:251-6).
Other supplements containing glucosamine hydrochloride rather than the sulfate salt do not appear to reliably benefit joint health (J Rheumatol 1999;26:2423-30). A recent report suggested that the sulfate portion might be a key factor in the effectiveness of glucosamine sulfate (Metabolism 2001;50:767-70).
Potassium chloride (KCl) is a more expensive but preferred stabilizer of glucosamine sulfate.
Glucosamine sulfate and niacinamide have been employed clinically to improve the ranges of motion and comfort of dysfunctional joints.
Vitamin B3, niacinamide, has a long history of clinical investigation for its effects on improving joint function (J Int Acad Prev Med 1983;Winter:5-25.).
A recent double-blind trial found niacinamide safe and effective for chronic joint discomfort (Inflamm Res 1996;45:330-34).
B vitamins have been shown to improve the response of spinal syndromes to therapy and help prevent relapses of spinal pain (Klin Wochenschr 1990;68:107-20, Ann NY Acad Sci 1990;585:54-62).
Betaine, a natural methyl donor, reduces the effects of excessive fat storage in the liver (Arzneimittelforschung 2000;50:722-7).
L-methionine protects against hepatotoxicity from certain environmental toxins, according to animal research (Toxicol Lett 1981;8:147-52).
Boron can increase the levels of hormones that retain calcium in bones, and can reduce urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium (FASEB J 1987;1:394-7).

Natural sources, hypoallergenic.
