Glucosamine 4 Vegan – Natural and Vegan Support for Joints and Cartilage
Glucosamine 4 Vegan by EnergyBalance® Switzerland is a 100% plant-based supplement developed to promote the well-being of joints, connective tissue, and cartilage. Unlike most products on the market derived from crustaceans, this formula uses exclusively plant-based and sustainable sources. Contains 90 capsules of 729 mg each.
Innovative formulation: GlucoVegeen® and Phytodroitin™
GlucoVegeen® provides plant-based glucosamine sulfate 2KCl, a natural component of glycosaminoglycans, essential molecules in joint cartilage and synovial fluid. In synergy, Phytodroitin™ – an algae extract rich in glycosaminoglycans – represents the vegan version of chondroitin, supporting the elasticity and resilience of joint tissues.
With MSM and vitamin C from organic acerola
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), known as a natural source of organic sulfur, is involved in collagen synthesis and helps maintain the structure of connective tissues. Vitamin C from organic acerola (Malpighia glabra) supports collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage (EFSA ID 216).
How it works: support, well-being, and joint protection
1. Support for joint cartilage
Glucosamine is a precursor of glycosaminoglycans, substances that make up cartilage and synovial fluid. It helps maintain the flexibility, elasticity, and resilience of joint tissues.
2. Joint well-being and mobility
Supplementation may help counteract stiffness after prolonged exertion, promote better mobility, and support recovery after periods of joint stress. Observational studies have documented improved joint function in active or elderly subjects[1].
3. Protective effect (“chondroprotective”)
Several studies indicate that glucosamine helps reduce cartilage degradation and maintain physiological joint lubrication[2]. These properties make it interesting for the long-term maintenance of joint health.
