Arthro-5 is the most powerful joint protection nutritional supplement in the world! It contains 6 main ingredients scientifically proven to protect joint cartilage. Each of these ingredients is included in the correct dosage for physiological effectiveness.

The advantages of Arthro-5 include:

  • 6 proven ingredients: Glucosamine sulphate (Glucosagreen), Chondroitin sulphate (TSI), ASU (AvoVida), MSM (OptiMSM), Boswellia Serrata (Boswellin Super) and Hyaluronic acid (HAPLEX Plus).
  • High, correct doses of each ingredient. Tested, scientifically substantiated dosages are the starting point. Per daily dose of 6 capsules: 1500 mg of glucosamine sulphate, 800 mg of chondroitin sulphate, 300 mg of ASU, 1500 mg of MSM, 100 mg of boswellia serrata and 80 mg of hyaluronic acid.
  • High quality branded ingredients.
  • Production meets strict GMP and HACCP requirements.
  • Quality tested by an independent laboratory.
  • The price you pay for this supplement with high-quality ingredients is very competitive. In the case of a normal price structure a product with comparable production costs would be priced for at least ฃ 75 (!) on the store shelves. (This is also one of the reasons why a supplement of comparable power is not available anywhere else).
  • Volume discounts starting at 3 units.
  • Label with information in your own language.
  • Delivery in capsule form. The advantage of capsules over tablets: Faster absorption by the body and therefore easier on the stomach. The capsule can also be opened and the powder then dissolved in water, fruit juice or a dairy product.

Arthro-5 is a unique supplement from Glucosamine.com. It is not available elsewhere. The product contains 6 carefully selected, powerful ingredients, each of which contributes in its own way to the health of your joints through various aspects of your metabolism. Because these ingredients complement each other well, Arthro-5 ensures optimum joint protection. Your chance of success with Arthro-5 is accordingly high.


The five ingredients in Arthro-5:

1. Glucosamine sulphate (Glucosagreen) - 1500 mg per daily dose

Most utilised joint protection substance in the world - and for good reason. Glucosamine helps in building and maintaining cartilage, joint casings, tendons and other connective tissues. It also contributes to the maintenance of joint fluid, thus supporting joint lubrication.

2. Chondroitin sulphate (TSI) - 800 mg per daily dose

Valuable ingredient that reinforces glucosamine. Even more important is the fact that chondroitin protects the cartilage by keeping a few key enzymes in balance. Glucosamine and chondroitin thereby complement each other excellently. Scientific research now shows that taking both supplements at the same time significantly enhances results.

3. ASU (AvoVida) - 300 mg per daily dose

Specially processed extract of avocado and soy oil. Despite extremely persuasive scientific evidence, ASU is still a relatively unknown supplement in most European countries after glucosamine and chondroitin. Among other benefits, it can promote the creation of collagen, which contributes to cartilage strength.

4. MSM (OptiMSM) - 1500 mg per daily dose

Popular with the public for years, but repudiated for many years by the scientific community. In the meantime scientific support for the use of MSM has grown: it has a beneficial influence on joints. Adding it to glucosamine leads to faster and better results.

5. Hyaluronic acid (HAPLEXฎ Plus) - 80 mg per daily dose

A relatively new nutritional supplement. Hyaluronic acid is the most important component of the lubricating fluid in the joints. It also enables our joints to absorb shocks. For this reason, doctors have been giving injections with hyaluronic acid directly into the joints for almost 20 years. It has now also been established that it has a beneficial physiological influence as a nutritional supplement as well. It is important to note that only hyaluronic acid with a high molecular weight is useful. A lot of (cheap) hydrolised hyaluronic acid is available. Its molecular weight is much lower, with the result that its effect is counterproductive.

6. Boswellia serrata
100 mg per daily dose

Boswellia serrata extract (Indian frankincense) is extracted from the resin of the boswellia tree. In India, traditional naturopaths have been using it for centuries for its supportive effects on the joints and respiratory system. In the West, boswellia serrata is becoming increasingly popular as a dietary supplement. Compared to the other ingredients in Arthro-5, boswellia serrata has the advantage that its positive effect is noticed relatively quickly. 

For Arthro-5, we use Boswellin Super, a quality product from Sabinsa. It is different from other boswellia products because of its highly concentrated dose.


Rapidity

The impact of Arthro-5 is generally noticed within a month. Shorter periods, such as a week, and longer periods of up to six months are also possible. This differs for each individual. In general the effect of Arthro-5 can be determined after 3 months (normally a period of one year applies in the case of the back and the neck).

These joint relief supplements offer protection that continues to last for some time after one stops taking them. Over time, however, the protection dwindles. This is the reason that most people use joint relief supplements uninterruptedly.

If cost is a problem, Arthro-5 can be alternated with, for instance, a separate glucosamine supplement. In order to give Arthro-5 a good chance of working, it is recommended that it be used for at least three consecutive months.


Safety

The safety of supplements is paramount for Glucosamine.com. Despite its powerful physiological effect, Arthro-5 is formulated for safety. The various ingredients of Arthro-5 are researched exhaustively for undesired side effects. The chance that you may experience such side effects is low.

Drug interactions

Anticoagulants

The ingredient glucosamine in Arthro-5 can enhance the effect of the anticoagulants warfarine and coumarin. If you are taking these medicines we recommend you first discuss the use of Arthro-5 with your doctor.

Antibiotics

Do not take Arthro-5 at the same time as any antibiotics. Glucosamine (ingredient in Arthro-5) can negatively affect the efficacy of some antibiotics. For this reason, we recommend waiting at least three hours between taking Arthro-5 and your antibiotics.


Warnings

Increased Eyeball Pressure

Studies have shown that the use of glucosamine (ingredient in Arthro-5) can lead to an increase in eyeball pressure in people who already suffer from elevated eyeball pressure. This increase is not extensive - 1 to 2 mmHg on average - but we still advise people who suffer from elevated eyeball pressure not to use Arthro-5 or to have their eyeball pressure measured during use.

Important: this indication only applies to people who already suffer from elevated eyeball pressure. There is no evidence that glucosamine can lead to an increase in eyeball pressure in others.

Should you be looking for an alternative to Arthro-5, try then ASU Forte or Chondroitin. Combine these two supplements for an even better result.

Hypersensitivity of the stomach and digestive system

Minor side effects that some people experience are generally related to hypersensitivity of the stomach and digestive system. In these cases nausea and excessive gastric acid are usually involved. Less frequently, constipation or even diarrhoea can occur. Generally nausea and excessive gastric acid can be prevented by taking the supplement with one or two glasses of water or by eating something at the same time.

Restricted potassium diet

The ingredient glucosamine is stabilised with potassium chloride. The dose for one day (6 capsules) contains 268 mg of potassium. This is a little more than the quantity of potassium in half of a banana or 4 slices of whole grain bread. In the case of individuals with seriously impaired kidney function a higher intake of potassium can, however, have adverse effects. Individuals taking drugs to reduce potassium levels should restrict their potassium intake.

Pregnancy/breastfeeding

Do not use Arthro-5 if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding. The supplement has an extremely favourable safety profile, but no studies have been conducted that exclude possible adverse effects on the (unborn) child.

Use by younger people

The use of Arthro-5 by children and young adults is not advised. A fundamental point is that supplements should not be started before the body is fully grown. Fully grown is taken to mean both skeletal development and hormonal development. The reason that Glucosamine.com recommends this is that no studies have been conducted regarding the safety of this supplement for children and young adults.
