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.
