Glucosamine Chondroitin Manganese Capsules Manufacturer: Dual-Active Joint Support Formula

(Contains approximately 10% moisture)

[ 1] Glucosamine HCl 1500mg + Chondroitin Sulfate 1200mg — The Classic Dual-Active Joint Foundation

• Glucosamine HCl 1,500mg (1.5g) per serving: glucosamine is the primary building block for the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains that form the backbone of cartilage proteoglycans. It stimulates chondrocytes (cartilage cells) to produce more aggrecan and collagen Type II, replenishing the structural matrix that cushions joints under load.
• Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate 1,200mg (1.2g) per serving: chondroitin is a sulfated GAG that retains water within cartilage, providing its compressive resilience. It also inhibits cartilage-degrading enzymes (matrix metalloproteinases) and promotes synovial fluid lubrication, slowing the breakdown of existing joint tissue while new matrix is being synthesised.
• At 1,500mg glucosamine + 1,200mg chondroitin, this formula meets the clinical dosing levels used in multiple human randomised controlled trials on knee and hip osteoarthritis — making it a credible, evidence-aligned foundation formula for the joint health category.

[ 2] Manganese Ascorbate — The Essential Cartilage Co-Factor

• Manganese (1mg, 45% DV) is an essential trace mineral and required cofactor for glycosyltransferases — the enzymes responsible for assembling glycosaminoglycan chains in cartilage extracellular matrix. Without adequate manganese, the body cannot efficiently convert the glucosamine and chondroitin substrates provided by this formula into functional cartilage tissue.
• Vitamin C (4mg, 4% DV), delivered via the same manganese ascorbate compound, is required for the hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues during collagen synthesis — the post-translational modification that gives collagen its characteristic triple-helix stability, cross-link density, and tensile strength in tendons and ligaments.
• Delivering both minerals through a single Manganese Ascorbate compound ensures co-presentation of these two co-factors at the point of absorption — a clean and efficient design that avoids separate chelation agents.

[ 3] Highly Concentrated Active Payload — >98% of Capsule Fill is Active Ingredients

• Total active ingredient content per serving: Glucosamine 1,500mg + Chondroitin 1,200mg + Manganese Ascorbate = approximately 2,705mg of active material.
• Excipient loading is less than 2% of the total capsule content: Magnesium Stearate and two natural colorants (Calcium Carbonate, Red Carrot Extract) account for under 2% of total fill weight — leaving over 98% as functional active ingredients.
• This near-zero excipient ratio represents a premium manufacturing standard: it requires careful formulation of particle size, flow properties, and fill weight consistency to achieve without additional flow agents or binders.

[ 4] Natural Colour Capsule — No Synthetic Dyes

• Capsule colour is achieved entirely with natural food-grade colourants: Calcium Carbonate (providing opacity/white base) and Red Carrot Extract (providing warm orange-red pigment) — with zero synthetic dyes, no FD&C colours, and no coal-tar-derived pigments.
• Natural colourant capsules support clean-label positioning and meet the requirements of clean beauty, natural health, and EU-compliant product categories where synthetic colorants face increasing regulatory scrutiny and consumer rejection.
• The distinctive natural colour supports shelf standout and signals product quality to health-conscious consumers.

[ 5] Transparent Nutritional Panel — Honest Chondroitin Moisture Disclosure

• The Supplement Facts panel declares 10 calories and 2g of carbohydrate per serving — values that arise from the chondroitin sulfate matrix, which naturally contains approximately 10% moisture content (declared on-label: "Contains approximately 10% moisture").
• This level of nutritional transparency — declaring caloric and carbohydrate content from the chondroitin salt structure rather than omitting it — reflects pharmaceutical-grade labelling standards and builds trust with regulatory bodies, healthcare practitioners, and sophisticated B2B buyers.
• Sodium 110mg (5% DV) from Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate is also explicitly declared — relevant information for consumers managing sodium intake, and a standard not always met by competitors.

[ 6] Gelatin Capsule with Vegetable-Source Magnesium Stearate

• The gelatin capsule shell provides a fast-dissolving, well-established delivery format familiar to mainstream supplement consumers globally.
• The sole lubricant excipient — Magnesium Stearate — is specified as vegetable-source (plant-derived), not animal tallow-derived: a quality distinction that supports premium brand positioning even within a gelatin capsule format.
• 20 servings per container (60 capsules): a focused 20-day supply format ideal for trial-size positioning, retail travel packs, and introductory bundle SKUs.
