The sulfate description
Glucosamine, or more precisely glucosamine sulfate or glucosamine hydrochloride, is a substance synthesized by the body, it is in fact a carbohydrate combining glucose and an amino acid, glutamine from where its name is glucosamine.
This element that the body makes is essential in maintaining the integrity of the cartilage, but over time, this production diminishes and leads to degeneration of the cartilage known as osteoarthritis. This carbohydrate does not exist in our diet for this, it is extracted from chitin, a nitrogenous organic substance that comes from the shells of crustaceans such as those of shrimp and langoustines, crabs and lobsters.
Glucosamine culture
It was discovered and used in Germany only about 20 years ago, at that time it was only available as a preparation for injection into the joints directly. Fortunately, ten years later, it was packaged by an Italian company in the form of capsules, which was much more convenient to administer.
