Glycosaminoglycans (or GAGs for short) are simply an umbrella category for a range of familiar compounds including collagen, hyaluronic acid, heparin and chondroitin. The serve a wide variety of biological functions, but most notably, serve as a key foundational player to musculoskeletal health – playing a pivotal role in the protection and maintenance of joints.
NEM® is a potent source of glycosaminoglycans, and is sustainably sourced from the delicate inner membrane found in used chicken eggshells, using organic materials that would otherwise be biological waste. 5-LOXIN® is a patented, clinically-studied boswellia extract. The principal bioactive compounds in Boswellia are boswellic acids, AKBA. Both have undergone significant clinical testing for their role in joint mobility and cartilage protection.
