Opt for sustainable glucosamine supplements

(GlucosaGreen)

GlucosaGreen is one of the world’s first commercially available glucosamine supplements produced by a patented, direct-fermentation technology. Glucosamine is naturally produced in the human body and is a building block of cartilage, but as we age, our bodies produce less. For many years, some consumers have treated joint pain with glucosamine supplements to rebuild cartilage.

Traditionally, this has been extracted from crustaceans, however GlucosaGreen has devised a more sustainable approach. Instead of using shellfish as the raw material, GlucosaGreen’s starting material is glucose extracted from non-GMO corn, reducing GlucosaGreen’s carbon footprint by 80 per cent. Manufacturing glucosamine from shellfish also requires a huge amount of hazardous chemicals, which in turn generates vast amounts of toxic wastewater, whereas the process of making GlucosaGreen generates only 2 per cent of that amount. This supplement is suitable for vegan and kosher diets, and for those with shellfish allergies.

Monitor your health with this free lifestyle app

(MyLife365.Me)

MyLife365.Me believes knowledge is power. With the MyLife365.Me app – an innovative lifestyle platform to help you take care of yourself – you keep a simple log of what you eat, drink and exercise. Your log provides a trend of how healthy you think you are, which can be assessed against your health by reference to your liver.

Maintaining a healthy liver is important for long-term health. Knowing your liver’s health gives you the opportunity to reduce the risk of ill health in the future. The app allows you to book a fibroscan – a quick non-invasive scan which detects your liver’s softness and fat content. Stiff and fatty livers can indicate T2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, liver disease and other conditions. Download the MyLife365.Me app and get your first fibroscan for just £7.50 per month.
