Vegetarian Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl 750mg

Glucosamine is normally extracted from shellfish, which means that people with shellfish allergies have not been able to take Glucosamine. Equally, vegetarians and people who do not eat shellfish because of their religious beliefs have not been able to take Glucosamine. This is why we have developed our vegetarian product, which has been extracted from Maize (corn). There are other Vegetarian Glucosamine products that have recently been launched in the UK. However, these are all Glucosamine HCl (Hydrochloride), as opposed to Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl (di-potassium Chloride).

Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl is the most popular and favoured form of Glucosamine as a supplement, and is the one that you all know and love! The third leading cause of food allergies after eggs and milk is seafood, which includes both fish and shellfish. It is estimated that about 22% of all populations suffer from a fish allergy and allergy to shellfish is just as common.

Glucosamine (one of the UK’s leading supplements) is made up of glucose and an amino acid called ‘glutamine’ and is produced in the body to help manufacture specialised molecules called ‘glycosaminoglycans’ (GAGs), which are important for the development of bone, tendons, ligaments, nails, hair, skin and cartilage (the gel-like material that cushions joints). The latter means that Glucosamine is highly beneficial in protecting against degeneration of the joints and giving relief from the discomfort associated with arthritis (the two most common types being Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis).

According to the Arthritis Research Campaign some 8.9 million British people (19% of the population) have seen their GP for arthritis-related conditions whilst many more cases go untreated. The body only produces a certain amount of Glucosamine, and this decreases with age, which is why it is important to supplement your diet. Each of our Vegetarian Glucosamine tablets provide you with 750mg of Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl, which is the ONLY vegetarian form of Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl currently available in the UK market.

Moreover, the majority of clinical trials that have shown a positive benefit from the use of Glucosamine, have all been conducted using the Sulphate form, not Glucosamine Hydrochloride. Therefore, we provide you with the only vegetarian form of the same compound that has been used in successful clinical trials.
