What is glucosamine?
Glucosamine is one of the primary building blocks of cartilage and is essential for maintenance of healthy cartilage. It also results in the stimulation of synovial fluid production, which lubricates and cushions our joints. It is considered one of the safest and most effective supplements for the maintenance of healthy joints. As we grow older, our body loses the capacity to produce sufficient glucosamine causing thinning of cartilage and eventually degeneration of joints.

What is cartilage?
Cartilage is the shock-absorbing, gel-like material that protects the bones at the joints. Healthy cartilage cushions the impact of bones and enables us to move about painlessly.

What is Transdermal Glucosamine Cream (TGC)?
TGC is a topical cream for application onto joints. Through our proprietary Transdermal Technology, a high concentration of glucosamine sulphate salt (10% w/w) is able to penetrate through the skin directly to affected joints.

What makes TGC different from other joint creams?
TGC contains a higher concentration (10% w/w) of glucosamine sulphate salt than any other topical glucosamine product available in the market.

The higher concentration of glucosamine in TGC is enabled by our unique proprietary Transdermal Technology. Through this technology, water-soluble glucosamine is encapsulated in active lipovesicular carriers that transport glucosamine through the skin layer and reaches the blood directly.

TGC is proven to deliver glucosamine effectively to blood and synovial fluid of joints.

What makes TGC different from glucosamine taken orally?
When glucosamine is consumed orally, it goes through the gastrointestinal tract and liver first-pass, where it is rapidly metabolized, resulting in only a small proportion of glucosamine reaching the blood. This proportion of glucosamine is then circulated throughout the entire body, resulting in ultimately an even smaller proportion of glucosamine reaching joints where it is in fact needed the most. Also, oral consumption of glucosamine may result in gastrointestinal side effects.

In contrast, TGC enables glucosamine to be delivered through the skin directly into the blood stream to the joint where it is needed. Lynk has conducted both animal and human studies1 that have demonstrated that TGC provides the body with a high and sustained level of glucosamine in the blood.

Can I apply TGC while consuming glucosamine orally?
Yes, you may continue taking oral glucosamine if you wish to. We urge you to use (try using) TGC (only so as) to discover its benefits as compared to consuming glucosamine orally.

How many types of TGC are there?T
GC comes in 2 variants –TGC High Strength and TGC High Strength Plus Capsaicin.

TGC High Strength is available in 75g tube and 45g tube. TGC High Strength Plus Capsaicin is only available in 45g tube.

How is TGC High Strength Plus Capsaicin different from TGC High Strength?
TGC High Strength Plus Capsaicin contains an extra ingredient, capsaicin.

Capsaicin, a natural compound extracted from the pepper plant, is known to relieve pain and has been in use for centuries.

Who can use TGC? 
TGC is suitable for anyone suffering from joint problems, such as joint pain, stiffness, discomfort and even immobility.

TGC is also suitable for anyone who is active in sports or suffers from athletic joint injuries.

However, as wear and tear of the cartilage is a natural occurrence that happens to everyone at all ages, we encourage you to use TGC for the maintenance of healthy joints now.

I suffer from chronic joint pain. Which product would you recommend?
For individual suffering from chronic joint pain, we recommend TGC High Strength Plus Capsaicin to manage the pain, while giving time for glucosamine to replenish the worn cartilage.

Is TGC suitable for use by children?
A child naturally produces enough glucosamine to maintain healthy joints. TGC can be used by children who suffer from joint problems. Children below 12 years old no need to use TGC as they are usually able to produce sufficient amount of glucosamine for their needs. However, in cases where wear and tear is out-stripped the production, TGC is an essential supplement.

How do I use TGC?
Apply approximately 2-3cm of cream evenly on joint area per application. Do not rub or massage vigorously. Use once to twice daily for minimum of 4 weeks. Please allow a few minutes for the cream to be absorbed into the skin before covering skin area with your clothes.

If you use TGC High Strength Plus Capsaicin, please avoid touching your eyes or any mucous membranes, and wash your hands after each application.

How soon can I see the results?
For individuals who apply TGC on weight-bearing joints such as knees or ankle joints, it will take around 1 – 3 months to see effects when used twice daily as recommended.

For individuals who apply TGC on non-weight bearing joints such as the fingers and wrists, it takes around two weeks when used twice daily as recommended. 
The time required to see effects is attributed to factors such as severity of joint damage, duration of suffering and the recommended (proper) usage of the cream. Results may vary from individual to individual.

I have sensitive skin. Can I use TGC?
For individuals with sensitive skin, please first apply a small amount and skin rashes usually appear within 1-2 days
If rashes occur after some time, we advise you to stop using TGC on the affected area for one month. Thereafter, to continue enjoying the benefit of TGC, chill the cream in the refrigerator and apply TGC onto different skin area in rotation.

However, if condition persists, please discontinue using the cream.

Have there been any reported side effects after using TGC High Strength or TGC High Strength Plus Capsaicin ?No side effects have been reported so far.  However, for individuals who are allergic to capsaicin or to the fruit of Capsicum plants (for example, hot peppers) or to any of the ingredients listed, avoid usage of the cream.
