Loading... Please wait...Osteoarthritis is the most common degenerative joint disease in the United States, an estimated 20 million adults suffer from this disease.
Glucosamins sulfate has the ability to promote joint cartilage health by supporting the creation of cartilage components. Glucosamine sulfate may slow the progression of and reverse some abnormalities associated with osteoarthritis.
Cartilage is the rubbery substance that sits on the ends of our bones and protects bones from rubbing together. Cartilage allows bones to move smoothly throught their range of motion. When cartilage is worn away (due to injury, obesity, poor alignment, or blood vessel clot) there is less protection for the joints and they can become painful.
Glucosamine helps the body to rebuild lost cartilage and assist the body in repairing itself.
Glucosamine Sulfate is the only form of glucosamine that has been proven effective in clinical trials.
There can be great variation in the quality of glucosamine sulfate products in the marketplace. Glucosamine sulfate must be stabalized with either sodium chloride or potassium chloride to retain its potency over time.
GlucosaPure™ is the only patented, fully-reacted glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride available (U.S. patent #5,843,923). Laboratory tests have shown that GlucosaPure™ is pure, fully-reacted glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride while other products tested were not fully reacted. GlucosaPure™ is a trademark of Jame Fine Chemicals, Inc.
In some parts of the world is common to simply mix powdered glucosamine hydrochloride with potassium sulfate and sell the product as reacted Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride. There is absolutely no Glucosamine sulfate in this product.
Our Glucosamine Sulfate is fully reacted Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride. It is manufactured in the United States under strict quality control standards in an FDA-approved facility.
In the proper manufacturing process, Glucosamine HCL is converted to Glucosamine Sulfate and then bonded with Potassium Chloride. This is known as "fully-reacted" Glucosamine Sulfate.
On a related qulaity issue, Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride is 75% Glucosamine Sulfate and 25% Potassium Chloride. Yet, some compaines provide only 750 mg. of Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride raw material for their "Glucosamine Sulfate 750 mg. product" This will only yeild 562 mg. of actual Glucosamine Sulfate.
Our Glucosamine Sulfate 750 mg. contians 1000 mg. of Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride yeilding 750 mg. of Glucosamine Sulfate
