Why is it called Vege-Glucosamine?

North Coast Naturals' Glucosamine HCL comes from a 100% vegetarian source (fermented corn) not from shellfish (the typical source of glucosamine).

Vege-Glucosamine delivers the most potent form of glucosamine (HCL) and now delivers that preferred form in a 100% animal-free source.

Why Glucosamine HCL (hydrochloride)?

Absorption. Glucosamine degrades easily, especially with moisture.

HCL or sulfate is bonded to glucosamine to make glucosamine more stable.

Glucosamine HCL is 88% glucosamine bonded to 12% HCL and is regarded by most trained professionals as the premium form of glucosamine.

It is better absorbed, than the more commonly available glucosamine sulfate.

Why is Glucosamine HCL better than Glucosamine sulfate?

Glucosmine HCL is the purest form of glucosamine - it is made up of 88% glucosamine bonded to 12% HCL (for better stability and absorption). So-called 'pure' glucosamine sulphate is as little as 59% glucosamine and 41% chemically added sulphate and salt. Some of the glucosamine sulfate products have even more potassium or sodium added than the typical 41%. In general terms, our Glucosamine HCL delivers almost TWICE the glucosamine as compared to the average glucosamine sulfate in the market.

Is Vege-Glucosamine made 100% from Glucosamine HCL?

Yes. 100%.

Is Vege-Glucosamine hypoallergenic?

Vege-Glucosamineis free from the fish allergens and ocean contaminants associated with all animal-sourced glucosamine. It is also free from dairy, soy, wheat, sulfites, egg, tree nuts - it contains only materials from fermented corn and cellulose in the capsule. See the entire Vege-Glucosamine product label for more information.

Is Vege-Glucosamine sodium free?

Glucosamine hydrochloride is naturally stable and requires no added salt or other preservatives — it is sodium free. So you can reap the benefits of glucosamine while keeping your intake of sodium in check.

Why choose Vege-Glucosamine brand glucosamine hydrochloride?

Scientific research has shown that glucosamine hydrochloride (HCL) is used by cartilage more fully than glucosamine sulfate (in fact the sulfate version must be converted to the HCL version BEFORE it can even be absorbed). A true mg to mg comparison shows that glucosamine hydrochloride provides almost double the glucosamine than the sulfate version. And when you are dealing with joint pain, you just want relief. Glucosamine-V brand 100% vegetarian glucosamine HCL is twice as strong, is absorbed faster and delivers noticeable results.

How do I take Vege-Glucosamine?

The effective dose is 1500mg per day. (Remember, our 1500mg is almost twice as strong as 1500mg of most other glucosamine products). Our 500mg capsules are also smaller to allow easier swallowing for adults of any age.
