What is Vegetarian Glucosamine Hydrochloride?
Unlike traditional Glucosamine which is derived from shellfish, our Vegetarian Glucosamine Hydrochloride is derived through a corn fermentation process. Our Vegetarian Glucosamine HCl is encapsulated in vegetarian (gelatin-free) capsules.
Glucosamine is a well tolerated, natural treatment for osteoarthritis and its symptoms. Numerous double blind studies have shown that Glucosamine can produce better results in the treatment of osteoarthritis than traditional drug therapy. The main function of glucosamine is to stimulate the substances necessary for joint repair. Some people lack the ability, or have a hindered ability due to age, to manufacture glucosamine which plays a role in the onset of osteoarthritis.

How Does Glucosamine Work?
The current treatment of osteoarthritis includes the use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as ibuprofen. These medications provide only the short term benefits in the relief of both the pain and inflammation of osteoarthritis. Unfortunately, a side effect associated with these medications, though not often mentioned, is their inhibition of cartilage repair and acceleration of cartilage destruction. Simply, aspirin and NSAIDS suppress the symptoms but accelerate the progression of the disease.
There may be an alternative for all those arthritis sufferers. It is a natural substance found in high concentrations in our joint structures known as Glucosamine. Numerous double blind studies have shown that Glucosamine produces better results in the treatment of osteoarthritis than traditional drug therapy. The main function of glucosamine is to stimulate the manufacture of substances necessary for joint repair. It appears that some people lack the ability to manufacture glucosamine and this has been suggested as one of the major factors leading to the development of osteoarthritis. European researchers were the first to study the link between glucosamine levels and osteoarthritis. The results are phenomenal.
Glucosamine HCl or Glucosamine Sulfate?
Both Hydrochloride and Sulfur stabilize the Glucosamine. Hydrochloride is frequently used in pharmaceuticals as a stabilizing agent. Sulfur is an alternative. Which do we prefer? The glucosamine hydrochloride is a bit more dense than the sulfate, which means you get more glucosamine for the money, so we prefer it. But, there's really not a lot of difference between the two -- if there was, you know we'd tell you!
Side Effects
Glucosamine is a well tolerated, natural treatment for osteoarthritis and its symptoms. In rare instances, gastric discomfort has been reported but was relieved by taking the supplement with food.
