Product Overview

Glucosamine is an amino sugar naturally present in cartilage and synovial fluid, and is one of the most widely used joint health ingredients globally. Our Glucosamine HCl (CAS 66-84-2) is a high-purity 99% grade suitable for the US dietary supplement market, where the HCl form is most commonly used. We also offer Glucosamine Sulfate (CAS 29031-19-4) for European market preferences, and fermentation-derived Glucosamine for shellfish-allergen-free applications.

Glucosamine may support joint comfort, mobility, and cartilage matrix maintenance. It is commonly paired with Chondroitin Sulfate and MSM in complete joint health formulations. Each batch is tested for active content, heavy metals, microbial limits, and residual solvents.
