Glucosamine Sulfate
Glucosamine is an amino sugar derived from the chitin of shellfish. Glucosamine is utilized by the body to support healthy joint structures.

What is glucosamine?
Glucosamine is composed of glucose and glutamine (an amino acid). It is utilized by chondrocytes to form glycosaminoglycans (GSG's) and proteoglycans. Both of these constituents attract and bind water into cartilage, increasing resiliency.

How is glucosamine manufactured?
Glucosamine is supplied mostly by China. The shells of shrimp and crabs have their proteins and minerals removed producing Chitin or poly N-acetylglucosamine. Manufacturers use acid with a depolymerizing and deacetylating process to produce glucosamine hydrochloride or glucosamine sulfate.
