Glucosamine is an important nutrient for joint health. As a main component of Cautions:

create components that are needed for joint and cartilage repair when these prior to use if you have diabetes or if
are damaged by injury or chronic disease. Glucosamine is also used in the symptoms persist after ongoing
synthesis of synovial fluid, which cushions and lubricates joints. Other benefits supplementation.

Glucosamine is one of the best studied supplements for joint support. Many Complementary Products:
clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness for relieving the symptoms of Hyaluronic Acid, Lyprinol, Allgesic
osteoarthritis, reducing pain and improving function. It also helps to delay the
progression of osteoarthritis. These effects are found in both short term and
long term trials. Its effects on tissue-repair are also beneficial for athletic
injuries.
A Vegetarian Form
Most glucosamine supplements are derived from shellfish. AOR’s Glucosamine
HCL is a novel form of glucosamine that is completely vegetarian and sodium-
free. This remarkable supplement is very safe and well tolerated and is easily
absorbed by the body to cushion, repair, and protect joints.

2. Glucosamine HCL
Joint support is a relatively new niche in the nutritional supplement market, composed mainly
of SAMe (s-adenosylmethionine), hyaluronic acid, shark cartilage, methylsulfonylmethane
(MSM), chondroitin sulfate, and glucosamine sulfate.
Glucosamine: What is it and How Does it Work?
Glucosamine is the best-studied of these aforementioned joint-support supplements, serving the needs of
young and old, athletic and arthritic or injured. Glucosamine is an amino sugar used to create cushioning
fluids and tissues around joints. It also repairs damaged arthritic joints, reduces pain, and builds synovial
fluids. It is easily absorbed into the bloodstream, and is necessary in the formation of skin, eyes, bones,
tendons, nails, ligaments, and parts of the heart.
Glucosamine is also referred to as an aminomonosaccharide, meaning that it is the product of the synthesis
between glucose and an amino acid –in this case glutamine. Most glucose and nearly half of all amino acids
are obtained through dietary sources, but the aminomonosaccharides found in our bodies are formed
internally, and dietary sources for them are negligible. Glucosamine is produced naturally in the body by
chondrocytes in cartilage to help maintain and build healthy joint tissue. The main basic purpose of
glucosamine is to create long chains of modified disaccharides called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which the
joints and cartilage require for repair. The GAGs are the main component of proteoglycans (PGs), which
along with chondrocytes and collagen, make up cartilage. Glucosamine is also converted in the body to N-
acetyl-glucosamine, which in turn is critical to the formation of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is the central
component of synovial fluid which acts as a lubricant in the joints.
Tissue Repair
In the treatment of degenerative joint diseases, the research conducted with glucosamine sulfate is extensive.
With respect to osteoarthritis alone, there have been 20 randomized controlled trials involving a total of 2570
patients. The collective results displayed a 28% (change from baseline) improvement in pain and a 21%
(change from baseline) improvement in function for those patients supplementing with glucosamine over the
control (placebo) groups.
Vegetarianism and Volume
The majority of glucosamine products currently on the market are derived from shellfish, which makes them
unacceptable to people who are allergic to seafood or simply follow a vegetarian diet. AOR® (Advanced
Orthomolecular Research, Inc.), decided to meet the needs of this niche, and in so doing produced a superior
form of glucosamine.
The glucosamine source secured by AOR® is a unique type of glucosamine that is not derived from shellfish
or any other crustacean or animal source. Instead, it is produced through a proprietary fermentation process
involving the use of aspergillus niger, a potent strain known for its metabolism of citric acid production. It
should also be noted that most types of glucosamine are sold in the sulfate form and use ordinary table salt
(NaCl) as the stabilizing agent. The result is a product that is often more than 20% sodium (in the form of
ordinary table salt) and perhaps just over 50% active glucosamine. Glucosamine HCL includes glucosamine
in a hydrochloride form which is not only sodium-free, but is at least 83% active glucosamine.
