Thiamin (Vitamin B1); Code: V125 - 50 vegetarian tablets In a probiotic-base & yeast-free Thiamin, or vitamin B1, found in both plant and animal sources, is a water-soluble vitamin that acts as a co-enzyme in the process of converting glucose into energy and is vital in certain metabolic reactions.

Thiamin assists in the maintenance and correct working of the heart and nervous system and formation and maintenance of red blood cells.

Bioconcepts Glucosamine 1000mg1000mg Pure Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCLContains the finest ingredientsHelps maintain healthy joints with good flexibility and mobilityImproves joint pain caused by injuries, accidents and general wear and tearWhat is Glucosamine?Glucosamine is a compound found naturally in the body, made from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is needed to produce glycosaminoglycan, a molecule used in the formation and repair of cartilage and other body tissues. Unfortunately, natural production of glucosamine slows significantly with age so from as early as your mid 20s, glucosamine supplementation can be necessary to help maintain healthy joints and to improve joint flexibility and mobility.Is Glucosamine right for me?Anyone from their mid 20s onwards who is keen on maintaining healthy joints with good flexibility and mobility should consider a Glucosamine supplement as part of their daily nutrient intake.Younger people can use Glucosamine from a maintenance perspective to help delay the onset of arthritis and continue to enjoy sporting activities.Anyone over the age of 30 should take Glucosamine to help improve joint pain caused by injuries, accidents and most importantly general wear and tear and to significantly improve the painful and debilitating loss in movement caused by the onset of arthritis.Why choose Bioconcepts vitamins & supplementsBioconcepts is a brand you can trust.

In osteoarthritis, cartilage -- the rubbery material that cushions joints -- becomes stiff and loses its elasticity. This makes the joint prone to damage and may lead to pain, swelling, loss of movement, and further deterioration.Since the body's natural glucosamine is used to make and repair joint cartilage, taking glucosamine as a nutritional supplement is thought to help repair damaged cartilage by augmenting the body's supply of glucosamine.There is promising evidence that glucosamine may reduce pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and possibly slow the progression of osteoarthritis. For example, a study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine examined people with osteoarthritis over three years. Researchers assessed pain and structural improvements seen on x-ray. They gave 202 people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulphate a day or a placebo.At the end of the study, researchers found that glucosamine slowed the progression of knee osteoarthritis compared to the placebo. People in the glucosamine group had a significant reduction in pain and stiffness. On x-ray, there was no average change or narrowing of joint spaces in the knees (a sign of deterioration) of the glucosamine group. In contrast, joint spaces of participants taking the placebo narrowed over the three years.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 statesDespite some mixed results, the majority of trials that have evaluated the effectiveness of glucosamine sulphate demonstrated significant clinical benefits when compared to placebo or NSAIDs. Evidence from trials on glucosamine hydrochloride is scarce and much less convincing. The medication, in both sulphate and hydrochloride preparations, appears to be safe with only mild and infrequent adverse effects.Studies also show the longer term benefits of taking Glucosamine vs other painkillers.Effectiveness of Glucosamine Sulphate Vs. IbuprofenFigure1 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 Figure 2. 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 forNews and FeaturesThe Daily Mail, Heath Article Glucosamine sulphate for painful jointsOne 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.Read the full story HERE.How to improve joint healthTip 1 Eat at least 5 different fruit and vegetables a day & oily fish as they may help maintain healthy cartilage.Tip 2 To maintain good hydration and a flow of nutrients to the joints, drink 6-8 large glasses of water a day.Tip 3 Excess weight puts your joints under extra stress.
