Oral glucosamine is plagued with low bio-availability and gastritis side effect. It takes a long time to feel the effect of Oral Glucosamine due to low bio-availability. Topical Glucosamine would obviously be preferred BUT formulating effective Glucosamine cream is near impossible. You may have heard people say “I tried Glucosamine Cream but it did not work for me”. This is simply because any cream containing less than 7% active Glucosamine may be nothing more than a cosmetic cream. The presence of high concentration of Glucosamine compounds always leads to emulsion breakdown and decomposition of creams. Thus Transdermal delivery of Glucosamine has been an illusion for many years. Only recently, Dr Obaje, experimenting with Biosurfactant Molecule (US Patent No. 6846916), discovered a proprietary emulsion matrix (Obalin®) capable of holding up to 20 % Glucosamine compounds in a stable emulsion which can deliver Glucosamine transdermally to the joints.

This high concentration Glucosamine Cream is carefully formulated using a proprietary technique – Obalin®, consisting micro-encapsulation of the active ingredients in a water-based emulsion. Obalin® Transdermal Delivery System is unique in the sense that it contains a unique balance of ingredients (both active and complementary) in an optimal proportion in a stable emulsion matrix that diffuses through the skin seamlessly.

Superiority of Transdermal Delivery Over Oral Glucosamine(Based on Laboratory Test Results)

Obalin® proprietary formulation has brought relief to many Sporting communities and arthritic patients around the globe through increasing number of product brands.

Dr Obaje's Transdermal Technology has created many Transdermal Glucosamine brands. Biolyn, Medilyn, Pharmaskin Jointcare were introduced in 2003/2004. Urah TGC Brands are the most recent and most advanced Brands selling across the globe. Check Your Glucosamine Cream Quality and genuiness before use

Glucosamine, by nature, is an unstable chemical substance which needs to be compounded into a stable form before it can be used. The only stable form of Glucosamine compounds available in most drugs today are the acid salts such Glucosamine sulphate and Glucosamine hydrochloride. High oral dosages of these stable but acidic Glucosamine compounds cause hyper acidity leading to gastrointestinal toxicity.

When Glucosamine is taken orally, most of it is digested and used up as carbohydrates for non-tissue functions and only a minute fraction eventually reaches the joints where it is needed. This is why high oral dosages (typically 2000 mg daily) are normally recommended in oral administration to make up for the high loss of Glucosamine in the digestive systems. But hyper acidity or Gastrointestinal toxicity are the natural consequences of high oral dosages and Gastric ulcer may result from prolong oral administration. Obalin Transdermal Delivery System has solved these problems and currently the industry benchmark.
