Vegetarian Glucosamine & MSM • 10.24.09
Glucosamine is an essential substrate for the formation of glycoaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans, which are the main components of cartilage tissue. GAGs and proteoglycans trap and hold water, forming a dense fluid cushion within the joint and thus, provide lubrication and shock absorption. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural source of organic sulfur, a mineral necessary for the production of proteoglycans. NOWs unique and synergistic formula is suitable for vegetarians, because it contains only Glucosamine from a vegetarian source and not from shellfish.* Picture may be of different size or flavor

Commercial food processing procedures often destroy viable beneficial organisms, making it difficult for the body to maintain good intestinal flora. Even the majority of yogurt products no longer contain a viable acidophilus culture. Preservatives, additives, high-fat diets, alcohol, birth control pills, and stress can all result in poor intestinal flora. Antibiotic drugs are especially damaging to intestinal flora and kill all kinds of bacteria, both good and bad. The effects of antibiotic use on intestinal flora can last for weeks even after the drug is discontinued; often leading to yeast overgrowth, chronic infections, poor digestion, fatigue or allergies.*
Acidophilus supplements can reintroduce beneficial bacteria into the system. Important benefits of acidophilus supplementation can include:
1. Keeping constipation and diarrhea under control.
2. Counteracting lactose intolerance by its association with lactase.
3. Reduction of bad breath.
4. Reduction of internal gas.
5. Cholesterol control by promoting normal absorption of dietary fats.
6. Suppression of candida yeast.
7. Suppression of a number of intestinal disorders.
8. Prevention of intestinal contamination from infectious organisms common in some foreign countries.

About the Brand
Ruth’s Hemp Foods works with family farms and gives back to the community. Their products are always GMO-free, with no hydrogenated fats, no transfatty acids, no refined sugars, no artificial preservatives, no sulfites, and no fillers. About Ruth Yes, there is really a Ruth. “I get this question a lot, and am always amused,” she says. “I have been eating health food most of my life. I used to work in the software industry, but wanted to do something personally meaningful,” she says. “In 1990 I started an environmental mail order, and it eventually included hemp clothing. I joined the lobby to legalize hemp in Canada, and still do lots of work in the industry, including serving on two industry boards at the moment. I am also on the Board of Everdale, an organic farm and learning center outside of Toronto, which happens to be my “alma mater.” “When I learned about the nutritional powers of the amazing hemp seed, that was it for me. I started producing hemp food. I am in love with food, with health, with life, and want to share this,” she says. “I am not in love with genetic modification, hydrogenated fats, refined sugars and other garbage. You won’t find these in my products.” What are the Benefits of Eating Hemp Products? The inside of the hemp seed, also known as the hempnut, is rich in both protein and oil. And the oil is one of the richest sources of essential fatty acids (EFAs). You may choose to eat the entire seed, or only the hempnut, or to press the oil out of the seed and use the oil and the meal (the rest) separately. Hemp is a great source of protein. It has almost as much protein as whole (or fermented) soybeans. That means more than virtually any other protein source, including fish, beef, eggs, chicken, or tofu. Protein consists of amino acids. Of the 20, eight are considered essential–that is, your body cannot make them itself, but MUST get them from food. And although hemp doesn’t have quite as much protein as whole soy, the percentage of Essential Amino Acids is higher in hemp than soy. Go for quality–not quantity! As well, hemp is not genetically modified, unlike most soy. Most hemp oil is equally remarkable. Most hemp oil contains about 56% Omega 6 or Linoleic Acid (LA), 20% Omega 3 or Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA): almost a 3:1 ratio of Omega 6:3. As well, hemp oil contains about 3% gamma linolenic acid (GLA), a rare fatty acid found primarily in evening primrose and borage. Ruth’s Certified Organic Hemp Oil contains a 2:1 ratio of Omega 6:3, i.e., less Omega 6, more Omega 3 (as well as the GLA). This is wonderful, considering that North American diets have an overabundance of Omega 6, but need more Omega 3. Hemp oil is the only food oil that contains Omega 6, 3, and GLA.
