Several years ago,
Olympian Labs developed Glucosalage SO4, the most
advanced natural formulation for use in the
relief of arthritis. Now, there's Glucosalage SO4
Extra Strength. This powerful joint formula contains
a unique combination of Shark Cartilage, Glucosamine
Sulfate and Cat’s Claw, along with added
enzymes and rare botanicals that help fight
the battle against common joint disorders and
pain.As a dietary supplement, Shark Cartilage is
known for providing support in the maintenance
of healthy joints and cartilage. Shark Cartilage
is a natural source of proteoglycans, compounds
responsible for building and strengthening the ground
substance of cartilage. In particular, Shark Cartilage
contains chondroitin sulfate, one of the most
potent proteoglycans known.
The anti-inflammatory effects of Cat's
Claw have proven beneficial in the relief
of arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis and gout. As
an antioxidant, it also helps protect cells
from damage caused by free radicals. Its
beneficial effects in relieving arthritis pain may
also be due, in part, to its
ability to cleanse the digestive tract and
aid in removing toxins from the body.
Glucosamine Sulfate functions as the primary building
block for proteoglycans, large molecules in cartilage
that give it buffering properties. When taken
orally, Glucosamine Sulfate is absorbed readily into
the system and can be traced to
cartilage as soon as four hours after
consumption. Glucosamine Sulfate has been shown to
have unique anti-inflammatory and protective effects. Studies
suggest that Glucosamine Sulfate may inhibit the
breakdown of cartilage and may help build-up
of cartilage.
White Willow Bark, also known as
nature’s aspirin, has been shown to relieve
fevers, soothe headaches and reduce aches and
pains.
