NSI Glucosamine Sulfate -- 1,500 mg per serving - 180 Capsules

NSI Glucosamine Sulfate -- 1,500 mg per serving - 180 Capsules

Effective for joint function and health. Your body uses glucosamine, a natural compound, to create one of the main building blocks of joint cartilage -- proteoglycans. As you age, the amount of glucosamine created by the body decreases. This causes cartilage and bones to scrape against each other. Joints become damaged, and the lubricating synovial fluid in joint spaces becomes thin and watery. Supplementing your diet with glucosamine may help to replenish these fluids. To ensure effective absorption and tissue utilization, this formula uses glucosamine in the sulfate form to provide the sulfur necessary for supporting the repair of cartilage.

"I have been taking these as part of a three supplement regiment for my lower back pain and I am very satisfied with the results. I have been taking these supplements for about 2 yrs. now and I have not needed to take a single pain pill in that time. I know that these work together with the omega3 and chelated magnesium for relieving lower back pain because I used to take 5 ibuprofen and 2 naproxen sodium just to be able to get to sleep every night and now thanks to God and these supplements I don't need pain pills anymore. I could not be happier. Thanks Vitacost and NSI"

"I have been taking this supplement along with glucosamine sulfate and omega 3 for lower back pain for about 2 yrs. and I am very satisfied with the results. I have not taken a single pain pill in that time because of these supplements. I was thrilled that I was able to get these here because they are much more expensive at my local whole foods store. These are definitely a great deal and a great product. Thanks Vitacost and Country Life."

NSI Mega EFA® Omega -3 EPA & DHA -- 2,126 mg - 240 Softgels

NSI Mega EFA® Omega -3 EPA & DHA -- 2,126 mg - 240 Softgels

Highly Concentrated EPA and DHA  . Nutraceutical Sciences Institute offers the largest selection of pure and great tasting omega oils and softgels - Pharmaceutical Grade - Molecularly Distilled with high elemental levels of Omega-3 EPA & DHA, and  purified through molecular distillation to ensure the absence of impurities, including PCBs and heavy metals. All Nutraceutical Sciences Institute products surpass all national and international pharmaceutical standards for freshness and purity, and are free from heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs. Every batch is lab tested to guarantee exceptional freshness and purity levels. How Does NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA work? Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated "good" fats found in oil from cold water fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna, or in seeds of flax, walnuts, hemp and other plants. They're classified as "essential" because your body needs them for complete health, yet cannot produce them on its own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Omega-3 EFAs play an important part in cardiovascular wellness by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure and heartbeat. They're believed to reduce the "stickiness" of blood cells (also known as platelet aggregation), promoting healthy circulation. The American Heart Association recommends consuming fatty fish at least twice a week, or that omega-3 EFAs be obtained through regular supplementation, for heart health protection. Omega-3 EFAs may also contribute to neurological, or brain, health. Nearly 60 percent of the human brain is composed of structural fat, a third of which is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is essential for the proper growth and development of the infant brain, and appears to affect function throughout one's lifetime. Low levels of this important fatty acid may be connected to increased incidence of poor mood, personality and behavior. Because omega-3 EFAs can be converted into anti-inflammatory substances (prostaglandins and leukotrines), they're also believed to provide joint support, promoting flexibility, mobility and potential pain relief. NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA has been formulated to contain optimal levels of the omega-3 EFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While typical fish oil supplements contain only 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA, Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA contains 400 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA per one-softgel serving. Mega EFA contains oil from fresh, deep-sea, cold water sardines and anchovies, harvested from waters off the coast of South America, where there are significantly less environmental impurities. It also undergoes the process of molecular distillation to ensure mercury and any other potential contaminants are eliminated. Mega EFA conforms to the Council for Responsible Nutrition's (CRN) monograph, which establishes strict quality standards for manufacturing marine-sourced omega-3 EFAs. In addition, it's the only fish oil product on the market to contain USP-verified ingredients, thus setting the standard for quality. NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA is better because it:. Contains optimal levels of omega-3 EFAs, EPA and DHA, together in one easy-to-take softgel. Is derived from high-quality, molecularly distilled fish body oil, not fish liver oil.

The best Omega 3 you can get., January 10, 2008

"I started using this product along with chelated magnesium and glucosamine sulfate about 2 yrs. ago to help relieve the pain in my lower back and I have to say that I could not be more satisfied. I have not taken a single pain pill in 2 yrs. because of these supplements . I did some research before starting my regiment and found this to be the best overall value for the quality and effectiveness of the product. The strawberry flavor definitely helps. I tried using a different omega 3 recently and have had good results,just not as good and I am now back on these. Do yourself a favor and get the best the first time and stick with them, I will definitely stick with these from now on. I can now play baseball again with my kids because of the supplements I have been taking and I could not be happier. Thanks Vitacost and NSI."
