Full Description
Glucosamine Supplement
What Is It?
Shellfish-fee glucosamine HCl and chondroitin sulfate are combined to provide a convenient and simple dual-strength support for healthy joint motility and function.*
This formula provides convenient and simple dual-strength support for healthy joint motility and function. Glucosamine HCl is manufactured in a proprietary process to produce a shellfish-free glucosamine supplement. Its production involves corn fermentation, which produces chitosan as a byproduct. The chitosan is extracted and processed to achieve glucosamine HCl. There is no allergenicity, as no corn DNA is present in the fermentation product. Studies have indicated that glucosamine HCl has the ability to support healthy cartilage integrity, in part by maintaining healthy matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzyme activity. In other studies, formulations containing glucosamine HCl and chondroitin sulfate have suggested positive effects on joint mobility and comfort. Chondroitin sulfate promotes the synthesis of proteoglycans, the ground substance of cartilage. In addition, it maintains healthy enzyme activity in the cartilage matrix, supporting cartilage integrity, and may provide synergistic support when combined with glucosamine.‡
Uses For Glucosamine HCl + Chondroitin
Cartilage Composition: Glucosamine promotes the synthesis of the glycosaminoglycan chondroitin. Studies have indicated that glucosamine HCl has the ability to support healthy cartilage integrity, in part by maintaining healthy matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzyme activity. Chondroitin sulfate is responsible for building the ground substance of cartilage, molecules known as proteoglycans. In addition, it maintains healthy enzyme activity in the cartilage matrix, supporting cartilage integrity, and may provide synergistic support when combined with glucosamine.*
Joint Motility and Function: Studies suggest that the combination of glucosamine HCl and chondroitin sulfate have positive effects on joint mobility and comfort.*
Clinical Applications:
- Shellfish-free glucosamine supplement‡
- Promotes healthy cartilage growth and all around joint function‡
- Made with hypoallergenic ingredients
What Is The Source?
Glucosamine HCl is manufactured in a proprietary process to produce a shellfish-free glucosamine supplement. Its production involves corn fermentation, which produces chitosan as a byproduct. The chitosan is extracted and processed to achieve glucosamine HCl. There is no allergenicity, as no corn protein or DNA are present in the fermentation product. Chondroitin sulfate is derived from bovine cartilage. Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil.
