Turmeric (2631mg providing 50mg Curcuminoids)

Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. The active compounds, curcuminoids, have been extensively studied. Each capsule provides turmeric extract equivalent to 2631mg of turmeric, providing 50mg curcuminoids.

Glucosamine Hydrochloride (300mg)

Glucosamine is a building block of cartilage—the cushioning tissue between joints. Glucosamine is traditionally used for joint comfort; it has no authorised health claim.

Our vegan glucosamine is derived from fermentation rather than shellfish, making it suitable for those with shellfish allergies and vegan dietary preferences.

MSM - Methylsulphonyl Methane (200mg)

MSM is an organic sulfur compound found naturally in plants, animals, and humans. Sulfur is essential for connective tissue health and is a component of collagen and cartilage.

MSM is a sulphur compound.

Vitamin C (12mg - 15% NRV)

Vitamin C's role in collagen formation is critical. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, bones and skin. Collagen is the structural protein in cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments, skin, and blood vessels.

Bamboo Extract (300mg providing 22.50mg Silica)

Bamboo extract provides 22.5 mg silica per capsule.

Korean Panax Ginseng (100mg)

Panax ginseng is traditionally used for vitality.

Rosehip (100mg)

Rosehip (Rosa Canina) is naturally rich in vitamin C and has been traditionally used for joint support. The whole extract provides additional beneficial compounds beyond vitamin C alone.

Horsetail (50mg)

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is another natural source of silica and has been used traditionally for supporting connective tissues, bones, and joints.

Ginger Root (40mg)

Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) is turmeric's botanical cousin and has been used traditionally for comfort and wellness. Its inclusion complements the turmeric in this formula.

Montmorency Cherry (20mg)

Bromelain (5mg, 6GDU)

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple stems. It has been studied for various applications and is often included in joint support formulas.

Papain (5mg)

Papain is a proteolytic enzyme from papaya. Like bromelain, it has been traditionally used and studied for various wellness applications.

Kelp (5mg)

Kelp extract, 5 mg.

Apple Cider Vinegar (5mg)

A traditional ingredient, here as a powder.

Is this glucosamine vegan? Yes! Unlike most glucosamine which is derived from shellfish shells, ours is produced through fermentation, making it suitable for vegans and those with shellfish allergies.

How does this compare to glucosamine-chondroitin formulas? This uses glucosamine-MSM rather than glucosamine-chondroitin. This formula uses glucosamine with MSM rather than chondroitin.

Why is the vitamin C dose only 15% NRV? This provides foundational support for collagen synthesis. You can supplement with additional vitamin C if desired.

Can I take this with other joint supplements? Check that you're not duplicating ingredients. This already contains glucosamine, MSM, and turmeric, so additional supplements with these ingredients may provide excessive amounts.

Does this contain black pepper like some turmeric supplements? No, this formula doesn't include black pepper/piperine. No, this formula does not contain black pepper.

Can I take this if I'm diabetic? Consult your doctor. While vegan glucosamine is not derived from shellfish, there's some debate about whether any form of glucosamine affects blood sugar or blood sugar monitoring.

If you have arthritis or any joint condition, work with your healthcare provider for appropriate treatment.

Can I take this long-term? Yes, when taken as directed. Many people use glucosamine-based joint formulas for extended periods.

Why take with food? Fat-soluble components are better absorbed with dietary fat, and taking with food minimizes potential stomach sensitivity from the multiple active ingredients.

Generally compatible with:

• Calcium and vitamin D (for bone health)
• Omega-3 supplements
• Probiotics
• Most other vitamins

Use caution when combining with:

• Other glucosamine supplements (check total intake)
• Other turmeric/curcumin supplements (check total intake)
• Blood thinning supplements or medications
• Other MSM supplements

Consider taking separately from:

• Iron supplements (take 2 hours apart)
• Medications (consult your doctor about timing)

Healthy joints depend on multiple factors:

Cartilage: Cushioning tissue between bones, made primarily of collagen and water Synovial fluid: Lubricates joints and nourishes cartilage Collagen: Structural protein providing strength and flexibility Minerals: Including silica and sulfur for connective tissue structure Balance: Between breakdown and repair processes

Whether you're an athlete seeking performance support, experiencing age-related joint changes, looking to maintain mobility and comfort, or simply wanting to support your structural health proactively, our Turmeric Multi offers a comprehensive, plant-based approach.
