Glucosamine Hydrochloride (Vegan) N033 (Capsules) Category > Vitamins & Supplements
	Glucosamine Hydrochloride (Vegan) N033 (Capsules) Over the years we have had many requests by vegetarians and vegans for a glucosamine product which is not from shellfish. Up until this point in time the only source of glucosamine was shell fish and there was no other easy edible way of acquiring glucosamine . So, we are delighted to announce the launch of our vegan glucosamine made through a fermentation process from corn starch. This is made through a new and revolutionary technology and at last allows vegetarians and vegans access to this joint support product. Glucosamine is an amino sugar which is used by the body for the repair of cartilage, muscles, ligaments and other organs. All of these tissues are constantly being broken down and repaired. A problem arises if the speed of breakdown exceeds the speed and capability of repair which is very often prevalent in those suffering from arthritis. It is at this time that a supplement of glucosamine can be helpful. Glucosamine speeds regeneration and allows the rate of repair to keep up with breakdown so helping your joints and other tissues to stay healthy. Our new vegan glucosamine hydrochloride comes in capsules of 500mg. We have chosen hydrochloride as a carrier for glucosamine as this is the purer form of glucosamine and the form the medical profession are supporting for those who use the product over the long term.

Glucosamine Sulphate N031 (Capsules) What is Glucosamine Sulphate? Glucosamine is essential for maintaining cartilage, the smooth tissue lining of joints. It is formed from a reaction of glucose with the amino acid glutamine. Much of the Glucosamine used in the body is associated with sulphur in the form of sulphate. Glucosamine Sulphate therefore bears a strong resemblance to closely related materials naturally occurring in the body. Why do we need it? Excess wear and tear on a joint creates the need for repair. If the body chemistry is out of balance it may mean that the body cannot make enough glucosamine. Glucosamine Sulphate helps to form a component of cartilage called Proteoglycan, a tough resilient structural material that acts like a cushion at the bone ends. If we do not form enough proteoglycan, the cartilage erodes more easily. Glucosamine Sulphate may help to maintain joint mobility. Best Natural Sources There are no edible sources of Glucosamine Sulphate - bound forms do occur in cartilage but in meat this is gristle and we tend not to eat it. Our Glucosamine is derived from the shells of shell fish from far Eastern waters. See Details

Homocysteine (V093) This is a new formula designed for susceptible individuals and those with elevated homocysteine. Homocysteine is a naturally occurring amino acid produced in the body by the chemical conversion of methionine. Many medical experts now consider homocysteine levels a more useful predictor of potential health problems than cholesterol. See Details
