GLUCOSAMINE

1. Product introduction

 

  Glucosamine, a naturally occurring amino monosaccharide, is required for the synthesis of proteoglycans in the cartilage matrix of human joints and is formed by the substitution of one of the hydroxyl groups of glucose with an amino group. It is commonly found in polysaccharides and bound polysaccharides of microbial and animal origin as N-acetyl derivatives (e.g., chitin) or in the form of N-sulfate and N-acetyl-3-O-lactate ether (cytosolic acid). Glucosamine participates in sugar metabolism in the body, is widely available in the body, and has a fairly close relationship with humans and animals. For example, glucosamine participates in the protection of the body by combining with other substances such as galactose and glucuronic acid to form hyaluronic acid, keratin sulfate, and other important products that are biologically active in the body. Glucosamine is an important nutrient for the formation of human chondrocytes, a basic substance for the synthesis of aminoglycans, and a natural tissue component of healthy joint cartilage.
