D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride
D-glucosamine
hydrochloride is obtained from the shells of sea crustaceans. It is naturally
contained in any healthy cartilage. Glucosamine encourages the cartilage to
create the fundamental building material of the cartilage ?proteoglycans and
collagen. Proteoglycans with their spatial structure resemble bottle-cleaning
brushes. The space between the bristles of this imagined bottle-cleaning brush
is filled with collagen. While collagen and elastin are flexible substances,
proteoglycans provide the cartilage with strength. In a healthy joint, the combination
of proteoglycans and collagen is such that the cartilage is both strong and
flexible enough. Glucosamine also has anti-inflammatory effects and prevents
the creation of enzymes which can damage the cartilage. With age, however, the
ability of the organism to produce the necessary amount of glucosamine is reduced
and it is therefore advisable to supplement it in the form of food supplements.
The main action of glucosamine in the human body, is to stimulate the synthesis
of cartilage in joints. Also, by inhibiting the degradation of cartilage the
effect can be relief from the pain and inflammation around joints that is associated
with osteoarthritis. D-Glucosamine HCL is a small molecule comprised of a sugar
molecule (glucose), an amino group and a hydrochloride group. D-Glucosamine
HCL contains 98% glucosamine, whereas Glucosamine Sulfate contains 75% glucosamine.
D-Glucosamine HCL and Glucosamine Sulfate behave similarly in the gastrointestinal
environment to liberate the active glucosamine compound for absorption without
causing gastric upset. A reduced consumption of red meat, refined sugar, alcohol
and caffeine, lowering cholesterol levels and maintaining a light exercise program
will also be beneficial while on this treatment.
This product is especially good for those with high blood pressure, on salt
or potassium restricted diets or those having adverse reactions to sulfate.

Applications: Chiefly used in medicine. It has important physiological
functions to human body such as to take part in the detoxification
of liver and kidney, to protect liver from inflammation, to stimulate
the increase of Bifidobiogen in the infant intestines, to treat rheummatoid
arthritis and gastric ulcer, to control the growth of cell. It is
an important material for the synthesis of antibiotics and anticancer
drugs, and is widely used in food, feed additives and cosmetic.
