Glucosamine HCI (Glucosamine Hydrochloride)

The Glucosamine, a natural amino sugar has been available per decades and it is used to treat osteoartritis. It is used as the base for the synthesis of all proteins and lipids glycosylated, and sugars nitrogen-containing. It is produced by the body human and used like precursor in the molecule formation greater calls glycosaminoglycans that are necessary for the growth and the repair of the cartilage. Glycosaminoglycans is a dominant component of bones, sinews, ligaments and liquids in the joint.

The Glucosamine has three chemical forms: sulphate of glucosamine (glucosamine sulphate), hydrochlorate of glucosamine (glucosamine HCI) and n-acetyl-glucosamine. The hydrochlorate of the Glucosamine is concentrated that the form of sulphate and contains less sodium by effective dose comparativily. It makes important functions in the human body like the chemical decontamination of the liver and the kidney, and the protection of the liver against the inflammation. The hydrochlorate of the Glucosamine is used in the treatment of gastric ulcers, to cure the torn cartilages and to control the growth of cells. This form of Glucosamine is used extensively in the manufacture of antibiotics, against drugs of the cancer and cosmetics. It is prepared synthetic or derived from exoskeletons of marine creatures. The hydrochlorate of the Glucosamine is preferred on form of sulphate of the Glucosamine because he is more effective and less expensive. The reason of its effectiveness is that she is purer. It is near pure 99% and he is very stable.

The sulphate of the Glucosamine is done of hydrochlorate of glucosamine adding sulphate or potassium. This leads to the presence of impurities. Another reason of the preference of hydrochlorate of the Glucosamine is that its use assures the receipt 83 percents from glucosamine to the problematic areas that need the treatment with respect to the form the sulphate that gives only 62 percents. That is to say, you would have to take 1995 milligrams from sulphate of glucosamine to equal the effects of hydrochlorate of glucosamine.

The process of the digestion is also one of the important reasons as far as because hydrochlorate it is preferred on sulphate. The stomach contains the hidroclórico acid that is required for the digestion of the food. When the sulphate of glucosamine enters the stomach that cuts the molecule of sulphate and the molecule of hydrochlorate is united, transforming it with effectiveness into hydrochlorate of glucosamine. Therefore he is recommendable to take the form that is accepted easily and to prevent the undesired salts in your body.
