What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine, full name D-glucosamine, is a natural amino monosaccharide. It is one of the important nutrients for the formation of chondrocytes and a basic component of cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. It is an animal extract. Our research found that glucosamine is widely distributed in connective tissue, skin tissue, synovial fluid, etc. It is a precursor substance for the formation of articular cartilage matrix and is widely used in the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis. The glucosamine we produce is usually white or off-white powder. As an APIs, it can be widely used in fields such as pharmaceutical raw materials.

What functions does it have?

Joint health maintenance:

• Glucosamine is an important component of cartilage. It can provide nutrients needed by joints, promote the growth and repair of chondrocytes, and help maintain joint health.
• It can increase the elasticity of articular cartilage and reduce joint friction, thereby relieving joint pain and stiffness.

• Glucosamine can promote the metabolism of bone cells, help the growth and repair of bones, and help prevent and treat bone problems such as osteoporosis.
• By accelerating the deposition of calcium in bones, it increases bone density and increases bone strength.

Anti-inflammatory and immune enhancement:

• Glucosamine has a certain anti-inflammatory effect, which can reduce inflammatory reactions and relieve pain and discomfort caused by diseases such as arthritis and rheumatism.
• At the same time, it can also enhance the function of the immune system, improve the body's resistance, and prevent infection and disease.

Other health benefits:

• Glucosamine can be used as anti-aging and anti-wrinkle raw materials, which can stimulate the synthesis of collagen, help fade scars and improve skin elasticity.
• In the intestines, it is improved digestion ingredients. It can also be used as a prebiotic to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, improve the balance of intestinal microecology, and maintain the health of the digestive system.
• In addition, glucosamine also has antibacterial ingredients and anti-inflammatory effects, which can prevent and relieve urinary tract infections.

What are the applications?

Arthritis treatment:

• Glucosamine contains rich pharmaceutical raw materials and is widely used to treat and prevent osteoarthritis in various parts of the body, including knee joints, shoulder joints, hip joints, etc.
• It can relieve and eliminate the pain, swelling and other symptoms of osteoarthritis and improve joint mobility.

Bone health care:

• For middle-aged and elderly people, it can be used as a health care material. Supplementing glucosamine can slow down the wear process of articular cartilage to a certain extent and maintain the normal function of joints.
• At the same time, it also helps prevent and treat bone problems such as osteoporosis.

Sports injury repair:

• For athletes or people who often engage in high-intensity exercise, glucosamine can help repair articular cartilage and surrounding soft tissues damaged by sports injuries.
