- Chemical Constituents
Glucosamine exists as a component of mucoproteins and mucopolysaccharides in all human tissues and is found in especially high concentrations in cartilage. Glucosamine provides the building block for the O-linked and N-linked glycosaminoglycans that comprise the matrix of the connective tissues in the body. Comparative cell culture studies have shown that Glucosamine base, Glucosamine hydrochloride, as well as Glucosamine sulfate are equally active.
- Analytical Specifications
- GreenGrown® 100% Vegetable Source Glucosamine is produced by a unique fermentation process derived from non-GMO corn, with further purification to meet the highest USP levels of purity (verified by USP-HPLC method) found in shellfish based materials.
- It has a chemical structure that is identical to that derived from shellfish, but contains no shellfish allergens or other potential contaminants from industrial aquaculture and is Kosher certified.
- The source of origin of GreenGrown® Glucosamine is verified by a highly accurate, patented (patent granted September, 2011) isotopic fingerprint analysis. ProfileProven® system is designed to confirm the identity, potency and integrity of each extract.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Pharmacology and Clinicals
- Glucosamine has been investigated for its ability to modify underlying cartilagenous degeneration in joints, and therefore to potentially provide relief in osteoarthritis.
- The great majority of studies have demonstrated the ability of Glucosamine to alleviate osteoarthritic symptoms with equal or even superior effect to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen.
- Additionally, less negative side effects have been reported compared to NSAIDs. Studies also demonstrated that Glucosamine stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycan, proteoglycan, and hyaluronic acid.
- Thus, Glucosamine has shown chondroprotective activity to both slow the progression of, and even correct some structural abnormalities associated with osteoarthritis.
