Product Description
Product name: Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride
CAS No: 1296149-08-0
Glucosamine Sulfate is an amino sugar and a prominent precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids. Glucosamine is part of the structure of two polysaccharides, chitosan and chitin. Glucosamine is one of the most abundant monosaccharides. Produced commercially by the hydrolysis of shellfish exoskeletons or, less commonly, by fermentation of a grain such as corn or wheat, glucosamine has many names depending on country. Although a common dietary supplement, there is little evidence that it is effective for relief of arthritis or pain, and is not an approved prescription drug in the United States.
Application and Effect
- Joint health
Glucosamine sulfate is widely used for the treatment and prevention of osteoarthritis. It is a key component of cartilage. Cartilage acts as a cushion between the bones in joints. Glucosamine sulfate can stimulate the production of proteoglycans and collagen, which are essential for maintaining the structure and function of cartilage. For example, in knee osteoarthritis, it can help to reduce pain and improve joint mobility. A number of clinical studies have shown that long - term use of glucosamine sulfate can slow down the progression of joint damage in osteoarthritis patients.
It can also increase the synthesis of synovial fluid. Synovial fluid lubricates the joints, reducing friction and wear. By enhancing the production of this fluid, glucosamine sulfate further aids in maintaining healthy joint function.
- Sports medicine and injury recovery
Athletes often use glucosamine sulfate to support joint health and reduce the risk of joint - related injuries. It can help in the recovery of joint injuries such as sprains and strains. After an injury, it aids in the repair process of damaged cartilage and connective tissues. For example, in a sports - related ankle sprain that may have caused damage to the cartilage in the ankle joint, glucosamine sulfate can be beneficial in promoting the regeneration of the damaged tissue and speeding up the recovery process.
- Anti - inflammatory effects
Glucosamine sulfate has mild anti - inflammatory properties. It can inhibit the production of certain pro - inflammatory cytokines and mediators such as interleukin - 1 (IL - 1) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In inflammatory joint conditions, this anti - inflammatory effect helps to reduce swelling and redness in addition to pain and stiffness.
- Skin health (in some cosmetic applications)
In the field of cosmetics, glucosamine sulfate is sometimes used in skincare products. It can help to improve the appearance of the skin. Glucosamine sulfate may play a role in skin hydration and can promote the production of glycosaminoglycans, which are important for maintaining the skin's moisture - retaining capacity. It can also enhance the skin's barrier function, protecting it from external damage such as environmental pollutants and dehydration.
