Why Glucosamine and Chondroitin?
At DTC Health, we believe in empowering our customers with products that genuinely make a difference in their lives and their pets’ lives. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to provide top-quality liquid glucosamine and chondroitin solutions through our Flexicose and Flexicose Plus lines. But why are glucosamine and chondroitin so important, and why should you consider the liquid form over pills? Let’s explore.
The Benefits of Glucosamine and Chondroitin
Glucosamine: A Joint Health Hero
Glucosamine is a natural compound found in cartilage—the tissue that cushions joints. It's essential for maintaining the health and repair of cartilage, which is critical for mobility and comfort, particularly as we age or in the case of osteoarthritis.
Scientific Backing:
Numerous studies support glucosamine's effectiveness in improving joint health. For instance, a study published in Arthritis & Rheumatology found that glucosamine supplementation can help reduce joint pain and improve joint function in individuals with osteoarthritis.

Chondroitin: The Perfect Partner
Chondroitin works hand-in-hand with glucosamine by attracting water into the cartilage and providing the elasticity necessary for joint cushioning. Together, they create a synergistic effect that enhances joint repair and reduces inflammation.
Scientific Backing:
The GAIT (Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial), a landmark study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), revealed that combining glucosamine and chondroitin is especially effective for those with moderate to severe osteoarthritis symptoms.

Why Liquid Glucosamine and Chondroitin?
While glucosamine and chondroitin supplements are widely available in pill, powder, and liquid forms, the liquid form offers distinct advantages.
1. Superior Absorption
Liquids are absorbed more efficiently by the body compared to pills. A study published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences showed that liquid formulations have higher bioavailability, meaning your body can absorb and use the nutrients more effectively. Learn more here

2. Easier to Take
Let’s face it—swallowing large pills can be a challenge, especially for those with mobility issues or for pets. Liquid glucosamine and chondroitin are easy to measure and consume, making it a hassle-free option for people and pets alike.
3. Customizable Dosing
Unlike pills, which come in fixed dosages, liquid supplements like Flexicose and Flexicose Plus allow for precise, adjustable dosing. This is particularly beneficial for pets of different sizes or individuals with unique health needs.
4. Faster Relief
Because liquids are absorbed more quickly, many users report experiencing faster results compared to pill forms. This is crucial for individuals and pets seeking rapid pain relief and improved mobility.
Why Flexicose and Flexicose Plus?
At DTC Health, our liquid formulations are specifically designed to deliver maximum benefits:
- Flexicose: Perfect for anyone looking to maintain healthy joints or alleviate minor discomfort.
- Flexicose Plus: An enhanced formula that includes additional ingredients like MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) to further support joint health and reduce inflammation.
