OstroVit Glucosamine 1400 mg – glucosamine sulphate in capsules

OstroVit Glucosamine 1400 mg is a food supplement in which one capsule contains 1400 mg of glucosamine sulphate 2KCl. One capsule is also the daily dose, which makes the product easy to use every day. The package contains 90 capsules, i.e. 90 daily doses, which last three months when taking one capsule a day. The glucosamine is obtained from crustacean shells, so the product is not suitable for people allergic to crustaceans.

What is glucosamine?

Glucosamine is an organic compound belonging to the amino monosaccharides, or amino sugars. It occurs naturally in many tissues of the human body, where it serves as a building block for a number of important compounds. For food supplements, glucosamine is obtained mainly from seafood – more precisely, from the chitin-rich shells of crustaceans. Glucosamine is used in different forms in food supplements; in this product it is present as glucosamine sulphate. The designation 2KCl indicates that the glucosamine sulphate is in the form of a salt stabilised with potassium chloride. The manufacturer has the product regularly tested by an independent accredited laboratory – both its microbiological quality and its heavy metal content are checked.

How to use?

Take 1 capsule a day. One capsule is also the recommended daily dose, which must not be exceeded. 90 capsules last for three months. Remember that a food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
