Description

Glucosamine Sulfate CAS NO 14999-43-0 is a vital amino sugar and a fundamental building block for glycosaminoglycans, essential for the structural integrity of cartilage and synovial fluid. Its primary commercial value lies in its proven efficacy as a key ingredient in dietary supplements and nutraceuticals targeting joint health and mobility. This high-purity compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and functional food industries seeking reliable, quality-assured raw materials for their formulations.

Application

• Joint Health Supplements: The primary application is as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in tablets, capsules, and powders designed to support cartilage health and alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis.
• Veterinary Nutraceuticals: Used in formulations for companion animals and livestock to promote joint function and mobility.
• Functional Food & Beverages: Incorporated into fortified foods and drinks aimed at providing joint support benefits.
• Cosmeceuticals: Utilized in topical creams and lotions for its purported skin-rejuvenating and anti-aging properties, supporting dermal hydration and elasticity.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chiral starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex therapeutic agents.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical and pharmacological studies related to cartilage metabolism, inflammation, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

Quality Control

Our Glucosamine Sulfate is produced under strict quality management systems. It is typically tested to meet or exceed relevant specifications for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical-grade materials, including potential compliance with USP, FCC, and EP monographs. Every batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles to ensure traceability and consistency for our B2B partners.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and caking. Keep away from incompatible materials.
