World Well-Being Biotech CAS 66-84-2 99% D-Glucosamine HCl

Glucosamine HCl is glucosamine combined with hydrochloride salt. Hydrochloride salt improves the glucosamine's stability and increases its bioavailability to 99% purity. Glucosamine is a simple amino sugar that molecules use for fuel. It also serves as the foundational component for all carbohydrates. Glucosamine plays a pivotal role in protecting joints. It is a component of the glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans that the cartilage matrix uses to cushion bone ends. Glucosamine also helps reduce joint friction. Glucosamine amides bond with glucuronic acid to form hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is one of the primary compounds found in the synovial fluid that lubricates joints. It also preserves joint integrity by enhancing synovial fluid viscosity, reducing inflammation, and protecting the cartilage matrix.

Glucosamine occurs naturally in the shells of shellfish. Manufacturers obtain the supplement by processing chitin from various crustaceans, including crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. PureBulk also carries a vegan glucosamine supplement derived from non-genetically modified (non-GMO) corn. Vegan glucosamine supplements are a good alternative for vegans, vegetarians, and individuals with shellfish allergies or sensitivities.
