The powerful alkaloids found in the bark are not only wonderfully tonic, but they also specifically feed the immune, digestive and structural systems. Una de gato has become one of the world's supreme tonic herbs, comparable to shark cartilage, pau d'arco, Eleuthero, reishi and shiitake mushrooms. While already popular in South America, una de gato is being studied in universities in Germany, Italy, England and Austria for evidence of its believed anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is being harvested in such a way as to guarantee perpetuation of this valuable plant in the tropical rainforest. Glucosamine with una de gato make a joint effort to provide nutrients hard to obtain elsewhere. Why Does Nature's Sunshine Use Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCL)?Glucosamine Sulfate, which is commonly used in Glucosamine products, is very unstable and must be stabilized, as a result it is only 74% pure. Glucosamine HCL is 99%+ pure, it is stable and no other compounds are needed. Both products are derived from crab shells. The suggested daily dosage is 1,500 mg. of Glucosamine Hydrochloride. In order to get the equivalent amount of glucosamine found in 1,500 mg. of the hydrochloride, you would need to take 2,608 mg of the sulfate.
