Glucosamine HCL: Glucosamine is essential for building joints and the cellular 'glue' that holds the whole body together.
The glucosamine HCL in the Naturo-Flex joint support formula comes from vegan sources and is also in bioavailable food form, for maximum absorption and use by the body.
MSM: MSM is short for Methylsulphonyl Methane, which is a source of an essential mineral involved in a multitude of key functions in the body, including pain control, inflammation regulation, detoxification and tissue building.
Rosehip and Montmorency cherry: Montmorency cherries are considered a superfruit because they are packed with nutrients, including powerful antioxidants and flavonoids. They are used as a natural painkiller. Rosehips are also naturally rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant.
Nettle leaf: Nettles are naturally rich in chlorophyll (a powerful phytochemical), vitamin C (a powerful antioxidant), serotonin, histamine, acetyl-choline and beneficial minerals, including iron, calcium and silica.
Ginger and turmeric: Turmeric and ginger are both herbs that work to naturally help reduce the levels of leukotrienes that cause pain and inflammation in the body.
Korean Panax ginseng: This plant contains two important compounds: ginsenosides and gintonin. These compounds complement each other to offer a range of potential health benefits, such as antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory actions.
Apple cider vinegar: The pectin in apple cider vinegar helps to eliminate toxins from the body.
Bromelain: Bromelain is an enzyme derived from pineapple juice. It helps to reduce inflammation levels in the body.
Bromelain is also becoming increasingly popular with athletes who suffer frequent injuries due to wear and tear on their joints.
Horsetail: This common herb promotes the absorption and utilisation of calcium, silica and mineral salts (including potassium, manganese, magnesium, sulphur and calcium). Silica deficiency tends to precede calcium loss, which leads to bone demineralisation.
Kelp: Kelp can be useful when joint pain is caused by an accumulation of toxins in the body. It is a powerful detoxifier, injecting alginates into the body that bind to toxic chemicals and allow them to be safely flushed out through the digestive tract.
Papain: Papain is a non-animal enzyme derived from papaya, which aids the digestive process. "Arthritis Today", the consumer health magazine published by the Arthritis Foundation, states that papain is beneficial for people suffering from both inflammatory and non-inflammatory types of arthritis.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C has been added to this formula because it is a cofactor in collagen synthesis. It contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the normal functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth.

Health claims approved by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority):
- Vitamin C is a cofactor in collagen synthesis. It contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the normal functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal functioning of the immune system, as well as normal energy metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, protection of cells against oxidative stress, reduction of fatigue and exhaustion, regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E and increased absorption of iron.
