Glucosamine hydrochloride, English D-Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Molecular C6H13NO5 • HCl, molecular weight 215.5, white crystalline, odorless, slightly sweet taste, soluble in water, slightly soluble in methanol, insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, it the human body has important physiological functions involved in detoxifying the liver and kidney, liver and kidney exert anti-inflammatory effect on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis disease and stomach ulcers have a good effect, is the main raw material for the synthesis of antibiotics and anti-cancer drugs, and also for food, cosmetics and feed additives.
Glucosamine is an amino sugar, animal and human body, by a molecule of glucose and one molecule composed of bran Acid Amides, formula C6H13N-O5. Humans and animals can be synthesized glucosamine in the body, but with increasing age, the synthesis as fast as the rate of decomposition caused by the body and lack of glucosamine joint. Glucosamine can stimulate chondrocytes to produce more collagen and proteoglycans, supplementary synovial fluid, cartilage to maintain normal metabolism, helps prevent cartilage damage and help the body to repair cartilage damage or erosion, and thus relieve osteoarthritis a variety of symptoms - joint pain, knee weakness, unable activities.
Glucosamine supplements are being extracted from crustacean shells. Effective type of glucosamine have three kinds: sulfate, chloride and N- acetyl machines, different types of glucosamine will be absorbed in the intestines after eating, the absorption rate of about 90%, and in the liver metabolism.
Efficacy:
Glucosamine for construction of mucopolysaccharides, which is the main constituent elements of mucopolysaccharides mucus, mucus was bone lubricating fluid. 2. Glucosamine is a cartilage proteoglycan (proteoglycan) the composition of raw materials, can be formed on the elastic resistance of oppression. 3. glucosamine for manufacture of cartilage between joints in oocyte quality grapes Ann glycan (glycosaminoglycans) necessary raw materials. 4. glucosamine for the production of chondrocytes hormone may promote cartilage cell differentiation activity, and to promote chondrocyte manufacture of new collagen, proteoglycans. These chondrocytes then mucopolysaccharides together and construct the skeleton of bone and cartilage. 5. Glucosamine is synovial fluid - hyaluronic acid (hyaluronic acid) is mainly composed of raw materials, which account for about 50%, can resist the formation of tension, according to absorb vibration and lubrication.
