Adults and children over 12 years: Mix 7.5 ml (1 capful) twice daily or 15 ml (2 capfuls) once daily with 125 ml of water or juice and drink on an empty stomach, one hour before dinner, or at bedtime. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose of 15 ml. Shake gently before use and refrigerate after opening. Results may vary from person to person and can last from a few days to a month.
Each 15 ml contains: Hydrolyzed collagen* (bovine hide) 5000 mg (enhanced with 500 mg of lysine*), glucosamine sulfate 1500 mg, chondroitin sulfate 500 mg, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) 400 mg. Non-medicinal ingredients: citric acid, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, stevia, natural wild blueberry flavor (a natural antioxidant-rich extract), and fruit punch. Hydrolyzed collagen* (bovine hide) (enhanced with 500 mg of lysine*): As scientific studies show, it is essential that collagen be hydrolyzed (i.e., broken down into smaller molecules/enzymatic digestion) because only the hydrolyzed form of collagen can stimulate the neo-synthesis of the collagen matrix in cartilage tissue. This collagen, composed of peptides containing nineteen amino acids*, has a positive metabolic effect in connective tissue repair. Its enrichment with lysine (500 mg) provides an optimal profile for the formation of new collagen molecules in fibrillar form. Glucosamine sulfate (shellfish: crabs, shrimp): A chemical compound found in synovial fluid (around the joint) that exerts a protective effect against cartilage deterioration. A precursor to hyaluronic acid and other cartilage glycosaminoglycans, it also contributes to the synthesis of matrix tissue throughout the joint. Chondroitin sulfate (bovine trachea): A compound used in the neo-synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, essential components of cartilage in all joints, including intervertebral discs. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): Known as a powerful anti-inflammatory, it is also an organic source of sulfur for all cartilage and connective tissue molecules that require adequate sulfur intake, such as certain amino acids (methionine, serine, threonine, etc.) and many glycosaminoglycans. *Amino acids: glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, glutamate, glutamine, alanine, arginine, aspartate, lysine. (plus 500 mg) serine, valine, leucine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, hydroxy lysine, tyrosine, methionine, histidine, cysteine.
