Glucosamine is found naturally in relatively high concentrations in the joints and connective tissues, where it plays a critical role. Healthspan Elite's patented Optiflex*Glucosamine provides 40% MORE glucosamine per gram when compared with the more commonly used glucosamine sulphate 2KCl.

Regular and strenuous periods of exercise can put the body under strain. Good nutrition provides support for the areas of your body that need it most.

Produced from a sustainable corn base via a special fermentation process, Optiflex® Glucosamine is suitable for vegetarians and is 100% free from shellfish and associated allergens.

Joint Physio* Glucosamine HCl provides our experts' recommended level of 1,500mg per tablet.

*Not clinically proven to optimise joint flexibility.

Product Origins

With rigorous management of raw ingredients, the glucosamine in our Joint Physio supplement is manufactured using a specialised fermentation process in accordance with HACCP principles and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

The manufacturing process involves the fermentation of an Aspergillus niger biomass with a vegetal substrate which produces chitosan as a by-product. The chitosan is extracted and processed to achieve glucosamine HCl of an extremely high purity without the allergenic residue or contaminant risks which are normally associated with more standard shellfish derived glucosamine.

Our premium grade glucosamine is molecularly identical to that sourced from animal products and provides exactly the same benefits. As glucosamine is not exclusive to animal sources we made a conscious decision to derive from sustainable corn to create a product which is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and is also shellfish free. This has the added benefit that we can produce without the contaminants, environmental impact, and seasonality related to the production and sourcing of shellfish-derived glucosamine.

The glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl), in our supplements is naturally stable, requires no added preservatives and is sodium free. This is in contrast with other commercially available glucosamine products that are stabilised with potassium sulphate to create glucosamine sulphate 2KCl or sodium sulphate to create glucosamine sulphate NaCl.

The use of the more premium high purity glucosamine HCl form has the added benefit that the active levels of free-base glucosamine can be achieved in a much smaller tablet size. For the same amount of free-base glucosamine provided in a Healthspan Elite’s 1500mg tablet you would need 2115mg of a glucosamine sulphate 2KCl supplement.
