Glucosamine is widely renowned for its effectiveness in maintaining joint health. It is glucosamine that numerous studies have shown, lubricates cartilage tissue which can help relieve symptoms of stiff joints effectivelyCeladrin® is one of the most effective natural anti-inflammatory compounds that safely promotes flexibility and healthy joint function. Cissus contains Vitamin C which is necessary to form collagen, an important protein used to maintain cartilage, bones, tendons and ligaments. Collagen provides the nutrients to connective tissue that helps support joint and muscle relief
All these natural ingredients work together to:
Helps improve cartilage structure
Increases suppleness and flexibility
Can help relieve joint pain
Is GlucoMax right for me?
GlucoMax is suitable for anyone suffering from mild to moderate joint pain be it from ageing joints, repetitive injuries through sport, an active lifestyle or arthritic symptoms. The synergistic properties of Glucosamine, Celadrin, Vitamin C and Collagen will not only reduce the pain in your joints, but will actually help repair some of the mild to moderate damage done to your joints over the years.
Glucosamine supplements are widely used for those who suffer from
Osteoarthritis . In osteoarthritis, cartilage can become stiff and lose elasticity. This makes the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, loss of movement, swelling and finally further deterioration.
Since the body's natural glucosamine production is used to help make and repair joint cartilage, taking GlucoMax will help repair damaged cartilage by increasing the body's supply of glucosamine
Celadrin® & Glucosamine Synergistic RelationshipThe cause of wear on the joint area can be attributable to inflammation as well as insufficient lubrication and cell membrane fluidity. Celadrin® & Glucosamine work together to:
How Does GlucoMax Work? The Science Behind The Secret....
Glucosamine plays an important part in the production, maintenance, and repair of cartilage (a cushion that exists between the meeting of two bones) that prevents them from rubbing against each other creating pain as we move. It also helps form ligaments, tendons, and nails.
Recent Studies show that GlucoMax could be more effective than painkillers at easing the pain of arthritis sufferers
Study 1: Glucosamine & Osteoarthritis
Study 2: What type of Glucosamine is best?
Glucosamine sulphate, as used in the clinical study outlined below is the type used in all Bioconcepts Glucosamine products as it is the most widely researched and studied format with the most evidence to support its performance in improving osteoarthritis symptoms.
Importantly, a report from the Arthritis Research Campaign states:
Studies also show the longer term benefits of taking Glucosamine vs other painkillers.
Effectiveness of Glucosamine Sulphate Vs. Ibuprofen
Although results are seen faster with NSAIDs, the benefits typically do not last as long, and other serious side effects such as long term joint damage are possible. Glucosamine Sulphate has been shown to reduce joint pain as well as increase joint space as shown on x-rays.
Effectiveness of Various Treatments
In this study, glucosamine (red) performed better than placebo (grey), NSAID alone (blue), or NSAID plus glucosamine (green). Results were monitored after discontinuing the treatment showing the glucosamine patients maintained some of the benefits whereas in the NSAID group (blue) pain returned at a faster rate. Current recommendations for glucosamine are to take it until maximum results are felt, and then use it in alternating months.
Celadrin®: Clinically Proven Pain Management
Celadrin® is a medically and clinically proven pain management compound developed through a proprietary process of esterifying oils. Celadrin® is an innovative, all natural ingredient which has been medically shown to reduce inflammation and pain with no side effects.
Clinical Studies....The Science behind Celadrin®
Study 1
In a double blind clinical trial, oral Celadrin® showed significant benefit beyond the arthritic medication the subjects were taking - with cumulative improvement shown throughout the study.
The Results
Celadrin® systematically enhances and lubricates cell membranes throughout the body providing youthful cell fluidity and elasticity. This includes the enhancement of fluids that cushions your bones and joints to maintain flexibility and mobility so that you can move with ease and pain free. Celadrin® has been proven to provide cumulative (continuous and restorative) benefit.
Patients were assessed for range of motion, pain levels, timed up and go, timed stair climbing and muscular endurance tests. Significance was demonstrated in every test.
Celadrin® is a revolutionary complex which has been scientifically designed to restore mobility and relieve pain quickly.
Study 2
Celadrin® has been clinically studied at various times with results published in the prestigious Journal of Rheumatology for both oral and topical applications as well as the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
The Results
For oral application, Celadrin® was studied using a double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled trial (the most scientifically validated type). Sixty-four participants between the ages of 37 to 77 were given Celadrin® capsules and were evaluated at the beginning of the trial, at 30 days and at the end of the 68 day study. Compared to those given a placebo, those who were given Celadrin® had more flexibility, fewer aches, less pain and were able to walk further distances than the placebo group. The study therefore concluded that Celadrin®, when taken orally improved joint and mobility problems.
In The Press
One of the key building blocks of the structures which form the framework for collagen to model onto is glucosamine, and has been hailed in recent years as a valuable supplement for anyone who may be suffering with joint problems and general stiffness.
Glucosamine, a natural sugar, is believed to help swelling, inflammation, osteoarthritis, slipped discs and sciatica by maintaining the viscosity of joints, stimulating the repair of torn or worn cartilages, and inhibiting the enzymes that may break cartilage down.
It also appears to be beneficial in treating uveitis, a disease in which the iris and focussing muscles of the eye become inflamed. Research has demonstrated that it can be effective in relieving pain and increasing the range of motion among sufferers with osteoarthritis of the knee, and other research has even claimed its effectiveness as being equivalent to a standard dose of Ibuprofen.
Glucosamine seems to be most effective using a larger dose initially, and then reducing it slowly to a maintenance dose once the beneficial effects have started to appear. Diabetics should be aware that this food supplement can upset sensitive sugar balances.

Joints and ageThe most common problem of getting older is joint pain and morning joint stiffness. Several joints on both sides of the body are usually affected, especially those of the hands, wrists, knees, and feet. Affected joints may feel warm or appear swollen. People may have other symptoms, including weakness, fatigue, weight loss, and, occasionally, fever.
The onset of actual bone and joint disorders is gradual and most often affects the hips, knees, fingers, and spine, although other joints also may be involved. Pain is the main symptom, which usually worsens with exercise and is relieved by rest. Morning stiffness is also common and diminishes with movement. As the disorder progresses, joint motion is lost, and tenderness and grating sensations may develop. Problems in the spine may lead to shooting pains down the arms or legs.
As we age, cartilage can become stiff and lose elasticity. This makes the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, loss of movement, swelling and finally further deterioration. By taking GlucoMax daily, you can help to decrease joint inflammation, joint pain & as a result, improve mobility.
How to improve your joint health
For supple and flexible joints
We do not tend to think about joint health until later life or once an injury or problem occurs, but whatever our age, everyone should be thinking about the health of their joints.
Nutrition
Eat at least 5 different fruit and vegetables a day & oily fish as they may help maintain healthy cartilage.
To maintain good hydration and a flow of nutrients to the joints, drink 6-8 large glasses of water a day.
Excess weight puts your joints under extra stress. So if you are overweight, try to lose some.
Good joints require regular physical activity as this maintains the muscles around the joints strong and replenishes lubrication to the cartilage of the joint.
Try a fitness programme that includes walking, swimming or cycling, along with stretching exercises.
Try these
Walk the dog for at least 20 minutes
Walk to the shops and getting the bus back
Cycling - you can always stop for food somewhere
Get a workout video of maybe gentle yoga or tai chi as stretching the simplest way to keep joints and muscles flexible and it's a good stress buster too.
Swimming or water aerobics as water reduces wear and tear on joints as it is a non weight bearing exercise
Day to day
Before you leave your house in the morning, undertake some gentle stretching exercises and/or a warm shower or bath to loosen you up as this will prepare your muscles and joints for the rest of the day.
