Press Release: Herb Valley Glucosamine Products

Recent media reports by Choice Magazine and featured on Channel 9, have highlighed a number of issues concerning Glucosamine.

Therapeutic dose is 1,500mg per day

Scientific evidence shows that the therapeutic dose for Glucosamine is 1,500mg per day . You should ensure that the dosage and directions for use deliver this dosage level.

Herb Valley products deliver the correct dosage.

Product labels are misleading

A number of products show the value of the ingredient glucosamine sulphate-potassium chloride complex and not the equivalent value of the active ingredient glucosamine sulphate. This makes it difficult for people to ensure they are getting the right dosage and compare different products.

Herb Valley products are clearly labelled stating the ingredients and the equivalent values.

Products tested did not contain the stated ingredients

The Choice review contends that the products they tested did not contain the level of ingredient on the label. The CHC, the suppliers of the products, and the TGA strongly dispute the results. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) says at this stage it is not sure that the method has been used or that the Choice analysis is accurate and so is undertaking its own analysis – strong words from the regulator.

Herb Valley products are manufactured to the highest standards and subject to independent testing.
