1) The specific advantages of Gluco Matrix over other products

Here’s exactly why Gluco Matrix gives you results you can FEEL, when the others don’t:  Gluco Matrix absorbs in as little as 20 minutes
Liquid Gluco Matrix is already penetrating the cells by the time it reaches the stomach, so it offers up to 98% absorption, which means larger quantities of nutrients reach cells.  Why are liquids so fully absorbed?  It’s because of your taste buds.  As soon as Gluco Matrix hits your taste buds the activity begins… your taste buds analyze the substance and then trigger the correct digestive enzymes needed to break down that specific substance.  So your body is already well into the absorption process by the time Gluco Matrix reaches the stomach.   This doesn’t happen with pills, tablets or capsules.  Once you swallow a pill, the gut tries to analyze the outside of the pill, not the contents, trying to figure out how best to break it down.   This is the body can do, given the circumstances…at this point absolutely nothing is activated by the body that would facilitate the proper use of the “contents”.   In many cases, the whole pill passes right through intact.  Now you can see why liquids offer such a superior delivery system.   

Gluco Matrix contains HIGHER POTENCIES For any significant benefit to occur, potencies must be high enough to allow a substantial amount of nutrients to reach the cells, to promote natural rebuilding, reduce inflammation, and provide pain relief.  Only Gluco Matrix contains a full 2,000 mg of Glucosamine HCI, plus potent quantities of Chondroitin, and MSM.

Gluco Matrix uses ADVANCED, PROVEN, NUTRIENT FORMS 
New studies continue to confirm that the specific ingredient “forms” found in Gluco Matrix are better recognized, and utilized by the body.  

Gluco Matrix contains only the HIGHEST QUALITY INGREDIENTS
Higher quality nutrients allow better bio-reactions between other nutrients and boost the body’s natural healing functions.  Cheap nutrients are usually synthetic and packed with fillers, making them unrecognizable by the body, which then tries to dispose of them and flush them from the system – the exact opposite effect you want for your expensive supplements! 

Gluco Matrix contains SYNERGISTIC CO-FACTORS
That’s a fancy way of saying that when you combine specifically proven ingredients together in a formula, they react off each other to jumpstart the body’s healing and repair functions.  Without these synergistic reactions, nutrients pass right through unused.   It’s like leaving the baking powder out of a cake…it will never rise.

Gluco Matrix is SHELLFISH FREE
The Glucosamine HCI in Gluco Matrix is from a certified Kosher vegetable source.  It contains NO shellfish by-products, and it offers a higher quantity of usable glucosamine as compared to Glucosamine Sulfate.  Gluco Matrix is suitable for people with shellfish allergies.

Gluco Matrix uses a NATURAL, HEALTHY SWEETENER and is DIABETIC FRIENDLY
The natural sweetener in Gluco Matrix, Xylitol, enters the bloodstream slowly, eliminating unhealthy spikes in blood sugar, or the fat storage that accompanies other products loaded with sugar.  Because of this, Gluco Matrix is well tolerated by diabetics and won’t interfere with blood sugar balance. There are no artificial sweeteners or harmful MSG derivatives in Gluco Matrix.       

Gluco Matrix is FRESH 
No harmful synthetic preservatives are necessary in our formula because it isn’t sitting in our warehouse for months and months.  We constantly manufacture new batches, in smaller quantities so we can offer a “fresh” product to our customers.  Our ingredients are fresher, and the product our customers receive is fresher. Yes, the FDA does require some type of preservative in all liquid products, but because of our impeccable manufacturing standards, we are able to use all natural preservatives from sources such as blueberries and other natural substances, and always in minute quantities of less than 1/10th of 1%.  Check the labels of other products and make sure you’re not getting any harmful preservatives such as Polysorbate 80, or artificial sweeteners like sucralose, or aspartame.  Many of these are known to be toxic, cause seizures, and do long term neurological damage with continued use.   Not only are you unnecessarily exposing your body to toxins, but it must now use up precious nutritional resources to try to flush them from your system.

None of our ingredients come from CHINA OR ASIAN SOURCES 
Our lab has a strict vendor qualification program in place, and third party testing is used to verify all vendor documentation.    ISO 9000 quality standards along with the FDA’s Current Good Manufacturing Practices standards are utilized, in addition to rigorous, self imposed quality control measures.  Microbiological analysis is performed on each and every product run to provide a “Certificate of Analysis” verifying ingredient content and purity.

WE LIST EVERY SINGLE INGREDIENT
If we put it in the bottle, it goes on our label.  It’s that simple.  We even list ingredients that are in such small amounts they are not required to be listed by the FDA.   Beware of manufacturers who won’t show you their supplement facts label and the “other ingredients” paragraph…the product probably contains harmful preservatives, MSG derivatives, artificial sweeteners and flavorings, colorings, crystalline fructose, or added sugars they don’t want you to know about.   You have a right to know this information.  If a manufacturer won’t provide it up front – don’t buy the product.

And finally, the magic ingredient other formulas don’t have…FULVIC
Fulvic provides the catalyst for superior utilization and absorption of all the ingredients in Gluco Matrix. It is a powerful alkalizer, increases enzyme activity, increases the absorption of oxygen, detoxifies pollutants from the body, and metabolizes all nutrients it comes in contact with and carries them through cell membranes, so the way your body handles the ingredients in Gluco Matrix is greatly enhanced.  

All this and it tastes GREAT too!

2) What can you expect from Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM ?

The Gluco Matrix Ingredients:

Shellfish Free Glucosamine
As we age, we experience a decrease in synovial fluid.  Loss of this cushioning fluid is one of the leading causes of pain, stiffness, and discomfort.  Glucosamine is a building block for the critical lubricants necessary to maintain and restore healthy, pain-free joints.

Studies show that Glucosamine may actually encourage your body to regenerate damaged cartilage, form healthy ligaments, bones, tendons, skin, and eyes.  This natural component helps produce lubrication and protection for your joints, and it inhibits the COX-2 enzyme.   Research shows that Glucosamine may be the most powerful COX-2 inhibitor known to science.

The Glucosamine HCI (hydrochloride) in Gluco Matrix is from a certified Kosher vegetable source.  Other glucosamine products are derived from the waste product shells of shellfish.  Gluco Matrix's all vegetable Glucosamine HCI offers a higher quantity of usable glucosamine, as  compared to the more commonly used Glucosamine Sulfate.

Chondroitin
Chondroitin is what helps attract the “cushioning” fluids in cartilage that allow mobility and pain free movement. It can also help slow the painful narrowing between joints that most arthritic sufferers experience.  Chondroitin is a major component of cartilage providing the strength needed for retaining fluids and nutrients.  It has anti-inflammatory properties and combats harmful and damaging enzymes, helping alleviate cartilage degeneration.

MSM - a vital ingredient for arthritis sufferers!
The third largest nutrient found in the body is MSM, or Methyl-Sulfonly-Methane, the nutritional form of biological sulfur. The body uses MSM to create healthy connective tissues and joints. It is known for its ability to reduce inflammation and inhibit arthritic pain. MSM can help maintain cell membrane flexibility and permeability, which means more nutrients are able to enter the cells and waste products are able to more easily leave cells.  This exchange allows toxins, such as lactic acid, to flow out of cells.  More nutrients and fewer toxins in cells are exactly what's needed for relief from inflammation.

Studies show that MSM in the body begins to decrease with age, so all natural alternatives like the ingredients in Gluco Matrix Liquid may help you stay more active!

Fulvic, Vitamin C
Fulvic increases the powerful rebuilding, mobility, and pain relieving effects of Gluco Matrix.  This unique ingredient provides the catalyst for superior utilization and absorption of all the ingredients in the Gluco Matrix formula, offering advanced and noticeable results.  And Vitamin C helps to maximizes absorption, along with boosting immune system function.

Put all this together and you have a formula that helps restore the pain free, effortless joint movement enjoyed in youth.

3) For even better results, take Gluco Matrix along with Neptune Krill Omega 3

The high prevalence of arthritis is believed by many scientists to be due to the over consumption of Omega 6, in proportion to the amount of Omega 3 in our diets.  This shift has only started in the last 60-70 years.  Omega 3 and Omega 6 should be consumed in roughly equal amounts, but the average American diet contains 15 to 20 more Omega 6.  This is due to the abundant use of vegetable oils.  They’re in most baked goods, crackers, packaged snack foods and more.
Studies show that arthritic sufferers in the U.S. have a 40% deficiency in Omega 3, as compared to other Americans, and are 100% deficient when compared to non-industrialized nations. 
An excess of Omega 6 interferes with absorption of Omega 3 in the diet, so even if you are consuming foods rich in Omega 3, you may not absorbing them.

Solution:  Eat less process foods containing vegetable oils, and supplement with high absorbency Omega 3, such as Neptune Krill. 

Krill is the only marine oil that contains a combination of Omega 3 essential fatty acids, phospholipids, and antioxidants.  It is 5 times more absorbable than regular fish oils, and it won’t oxidize.    Neptune Krill

4) Why do some Glucosamine products work and others don’t

Many heavily advertised formulas contain as little as 700mg to 1,000 mg of Glucosamine and contain large amount of fillers, binders, sugars, and artificial ingredients.  Plus, if its in tablet or capsule form you can cut that in half again because that is the most the body can absorb from those forms.   Check the label and compare to Gluco Matrix before you buy.

5) Watch out for these toxic fillers and binders- they’re in most joint formulas

• Polysorbate 80
• Sodium Benzoate
• Aspartame
• Sucralose
• Saccharin
• Silicon Dioxide
• Polyethylene glycol
• Crystalline Fructose
• Colorings or dyes
• Magnesium Stearate
• Titanium Dioxide

6) A note from the CEO of Vital Earth…her personal experience with Gluco Matrix

A note from the CEO of Vital Earth Minerals:
“Before I became aware of proper eating and nutrition, and the damaging side effects of some prescriptions, I took a thyroid drug that created severe, crippling joint pain, amongst other undesirable side effects.  Walking was extremely painful; I had to cling to the hand rail on stairs, and could no longer ski, rollerblade or wind-surf.  The pain was especially intense in my ankles and knees.

In my quest for a natural remedy to my hyperactive thyroid, I began educating myself and found a little known, organic solution … fulvic minerals; which then led me to Vital Earth Minerals.  By using their high potency supplements, making dramatic changes to my diet, and detoxing and boosting my immune system with fulvic, I was able to completely reverse my hyperactive thyroid condition. 

That success inspired me to become a part of the Vital Earth Company, and to direct the development of additional products that offer help to people who may be suffering from the same debilitating joint pain as I had.  So, using the expertise of highly trained researchers and bio-chemists, Gluco Matrix was created.

Because I know what it’s like to no longer be able to do the activities you love because of painful, inflamed joints, I'm thankful every day for Gluco Matrix.  This product gave me relief from my joint damage, and allowed me to return to the sports I dearly love, and I am delighted to share it with you!”

7) NSAIDs and prescriptions may not be the best solution

Pain relievers may offer arthritis sufferers temporary relief, but long term use can cause erosion of the gastrointestinal lining and decreased immune system function. 

Most people are now aware of the terrific dangers of the arthritis drug, Vioxx, which has been withdrawn from the market.  The manufacturer, Merck, was involved in over 27,000 lawsuits, and has recently agreed to pay 4.85 billion. 

An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) states that Merck knew of the dangers associated with the arthritis drug, Vioxx, for as many as 3 years before the massive nationwide recall.   Information was intentionally downplayed and withheld from federal officials.

People enrolled in two Vioxx clinical trials were dying at three times the rate of those taking a placebo. 

Other Cox-2 inhibitor drugs have been pulled from the market as research shows an increased risk of heart attack associated with their use.  Research also indicates that current drugs being used in the treatment of osteoarthritis actually inhibit the healing process, and accelerate the progression of joint destruction.

If you’re not convinced that natural alternatives are the safest, most effective route, please visit the internet and investigate the risks of arthritis drugs and NSAIDs for yourself.
