What is Glucosamine Hydrochloride?

Glucosamine hydrochloride powder is one of several forms of glucosamine, an amino sugar that occurs naturally in the body. It is found in shells and can also be made in the laboratory.

Glucosamine hydrochloride can treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, glaucoma, a jaw disorder called temporomandibular disorder (TMD), joint pain, back pain, and weight loss.

Glucosamine hydrochloride is used in combination with chondroitin sulfate, shark cartilage, and camphor for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Main benefits:

1. Lower cholesterol

Research shows that glucosamine hydrochloride does not affect cholesterol or triglyceride levels in people with high cholesterol. 

2. Treatment of bone and joint disease called Kashin-Beck disease

Evidence suggests that taking glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate reduces pain and improves physical function in adults with a bone and joint disease called Kashin-Beck disease.

3. Treat knee pain

Research suggests that glucosamine hydrochloride powder may provide some pain relief for people who often experience knee pain due to joint damage.

4. Treat osteoarthritis

A combination of glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, and manganese ascorbate may improve pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This combination may work better in people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis than in those with severe osteoarthritis.

5. Rheumatoid arthritis

Studies have shown that taking specific glucosamine hydrochloride in combination with prescription medication can reduce pain compared to sugar pills. However, the product does not seem to reduce inflammation or reduce the number of painful or swollen joints.

6. Jaw pain

Studies have shown that taking glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulfate, and calcium ascorbate twice daily can reduce joint swelling and pain, as well as noise from the jaw joint, in people with temporomandibular disorders.
