D-Glucosamine is a food-grade amino-sugar naturally present in joint cartilage, produced from shellfish chitin or fungal fermentation.We supply bulk D-Glucosamine sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for food and beverage manufacturers worldwide. Our D-Glucosamine is widely used in joint-health supplements, osteoarthritis management products, veterinary joint supplements and mobility.
D-Glucosamine is produced by acid hydrolysis of crab or shrimp shell chitin, or by fungal fermentation (vegan/shellfish-free grade), followed by purification and crystallisation.
Marketed primarily as glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine HCl or N-acetyl-glucosamine, it is a key building block for glycosaminoglycans in cartilage and is widely used in joint-health supplements for osteoarthritis and mobility support.
