Active Ingredients

  • Manganese(Manganese (Form: as Manganese Ascorbate))

    2 mg

    Ingredient research · Manganese

    Manganese is an essential trace mineral that activates enzymes involved in energy metabolism, connective-tissue and bone formation, and antioxidant defense. Supplementation can restore these functions when intake is inadequate or deficiency is present, but added manganese has no clear general benefit for people who already get enough.

  • Glucosamine Sulfate(Glucosamine Sulfate (Form: from Crab, Shrimp))

    250 mg

    Ingredient research · Glucosamine Sulfate 2KCl

    Glucosamine Sulfate 2KCl is a potassium chloride–stabilized form of glucosamine sulfate, a building-block compound used mainly for osteoarthritis. It may modestly reduce knee pain and improve function with sustained use, although findings differ among formulations and it has not been shown to rebuild cartilage.

  • Glucosamine HCl(Glucosamine HCl (Form: from Crab, Shrimp))

    250 mg

    Ingredient research · Glucosamine HCl

    Glucosamine HCl is a salt form of glucosamine, a natural building block used in cartilage and other connective tissues. It is taken mainly for osteoarthritis-related joint pain and function, but benefits are uncertain, and the better-known positive findings for glucosamine sulfate should not be assumed to apply to the hydrochloride form.

  • N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine(N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (Form: from Crab, Shrimp))

    250 mg

    Ingredient research · N-Acetylglucosamine

    N-Acetylglucosamine is an acetylated amino sugar used to build structural molecules such as hyaluronic acid and mucus glycoproteins, prompting interest in joint, skin, and intestinal-barrier support. Human supplementation benefits remain uncertain, and it should not be assumed to share glucosamine sulfate’s better-studied effects on osteoarthritis symptoms.
