GlucosaGreen® – The Technology

GlucosaGreen® is the world’s first commercially available glucosamine produced by a revolutionary direct-fermentation process technology. Instead of using shellfish as the raw material, GlucosaGreen®’s starting material is glucose. The glucose is derived from an easily available vegetable source – non-GMO corn.

 

Addressing challenges:

  • Raw material availabilty
  • Consumer concerns over allergens
  • Environmental pollution caused by the process of extracting chitin from shellfish

From here, there is a fermentation process and the technology very efficiently transforms glucose into glucosamine – GlucosaGreen®!

Frequently Asked Questions

About GlucosaGreen®

Vegetarian glucosamine is as effective as shellfish glucosamine. GlucosaGreen® has been tested and validated and provides an equivalent alternative in all forms. It is available as vegan, non-shellfish glucosamine sulfate as well as glucosamine hydrochloride in powder, tablet, and capsule grades.

Yes, glucosamine is generally recognized as a safe and well-tolerated dietary supplement. GlucosaGreen® has been validated to be bio-equivalent to all other forms of approved glucosamine, so it has the same favorable safety and tolerability profile as other dietary glucosamine.

Yes, GlucosaGreen® is a vegetarian glucosamine derived from non-GMO corn, and it is certified non-GMO. It also has the potential to be used in organic glucosamine supplement formulations.

Yes, the raw material used to develop GlucosaGreen® is made from corn and is certified vegan. Its manufacturing process is completely free from animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for vegan formulations.

Natural sources of glucosamine are limited, with the primary source being the shells of shellfish like shrimp, crab, and lobster. Since these shells aren’t typically consumed, glucosamine is most commonly obtained through supplements.
