Natural Factors FlexAble 500 mg provides 500 mg of glucosamine sulfate per capsule, drawn from 667 mg of a stabilized glucosamine sulfate complex. Helps to protect against the deterioration of cartilage.
What is glucosamine sulfate?
Glucosamine is an amino sugar that the body makes itself and uses as a building block for cartilage, the firm, flexible tissue that cushions the ends of bones. Supplemental glucosamine is usually obtained from chitin, the hard material in shellfish exoskeletons, and that is the source used in FlexAble. Glucosamine sulfate has to be stabilized with a mineral salt to stay intact in a capsule, and this complex is stabilized without sodium.

NF Flexable in combination with equal NF MSM has kept me moving without pain for about 25 years. My partner also admits it improves his “arthritis” - as long as I keep reminding him. I’m 87 now and happy to be able to move around with little to no difficulty.
