GreenGrown(R) Glucosamine HCl
Glucosamine is a natural compound found in the body, particularly in the fluid that surrounds joints. It is often used as a dietary supplement to help with joint health, particularly for conditions such as osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is believed to work by helping to reduce inflammation, promoting the repair of damaged cartilage, and slowing down the loss of cartilage. There are several different forms of glucosamine supplements, including glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and N-acetyl-glucosamine. Glucosamine sulfate is the most commonly used form in supplements. It is important to note that glucosamine sulfate is derived from shellfish (specifically the exoskeletons of shrimp, lobster, and crabs) and can be problematic for people with shellfish allergies.

- The Glucosamine used in this product is derived from a Non-GMO corn source.
- Glucosamine is an essential substrate for the formation of glycoaminoglycans (GAG’s) and proteoglycans, which are the main components of cartilage tissue. GAG’s and proteoglycans trap and hold water, forming a dense fluid cushion within the joint and thus, provide lubrication and shock absorption. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a
natural source of organic sulfur, a mineral necessary for the production of proteoglycans.*
- NOW Foods developed the glucosamine test method chosen as the official AOACI industry standard method.
