Do you want to stay on the move as the years go by?
Knees and hips carry our body weight, absorb every step and still have to stay flexible. The older we get, the more we notice how much we rely on them, and the more we want to keep doing the things we enjoy: a long dog walk, a round of golf, a day in the allotment. Regular movement is the most important thing. Good nutrition is the second, and that is where Active Freedom Capsules come in.
Two capsules provide vitamin D (50% of the reference intake), vitamin E (83%) and manganese (50%). Vitamin D and manganese contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin D also contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function, to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, and to normal blood calcium levels. Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue, and both manganese and vitamin E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, for example during periods of heavy physical activity.
On top of these, each daily dose contains 675 mg glucosamine sulphate and 100 mg chondroitin sulphate, two compounds that occur naturally in cartilage. LR designed the capsules as a partner to the Active Freedom drinking gel, so you can use them on their own or together.
Who is it for? It suits keen walkers and cyclists, people returning to exercise after a break, those whose job keeps them on their feet all day, and anyone over fifty who wants to keep doing what they enjoy. Two capsules fit easily alongside breakfast and dinner, and a pack lasts exactly a month.
