In a healthy individual the body is capable of manufacturing D-Glucosamine, to be used as building blocks for cartilage and the formation of ligaments. But a body's inability to manufacture D-Glucosamine may become a causative factor in developing osteoarthritis. There are no known food sources of D-Glucosamine and it has to be made from a specially processed chitin, obtained from shrimps, lobster and crab shells. During this chitin-process both D-Glucosamine and L-Glucosamine are formed. Since D-Glucosamine is the only one used by the body, products containing D-Glucosamine only are utilised far better than products with the D and L forms mixed together.
Glucosamine is commercially available in 3 forms:
Of these 3 types, only Glucosamine Sulphate provides those molecules that are essential for creating cartilage and ligaments.
- Glucosamine Sulphate
- Glucosamine Hydrochloride
- N-Acetyl-Glucosamine
At Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals a patented method is used for processing chitin that produces a Glucosamine sulphate product containing exclusively D-Glucosamine Sulphate.
This product containing
only D-Glucosamine Sulphate, will give the best results.
