New
Technology Produces GreenGrown™ Glucosamine
From 100% Vegetable Source
San
Anselmo, CA (January 24, 2008)
The
booming U.S. market for joint care supplements now requires
a supply of over 5,000 tons of Glucosamine a year. Glucosamine
is an essential building block in the development of new human
cartilage, and creates the base for the majority of joint health
supplement products sold today. Proven effective in it's ability
to rebuild and repair damaged cartilage in numerous clinical
trials, Glucosamine is one of the most widely used supplements
in the long-term treatment of stiff joints and arthritis.
The
bulk of this material is derived from shellfish which is produced
in the Asian aquaculture industry. There's been a significant
amount of press attention recently focusing on the growing pollution
problems caused by this industry through the proliferation of
pesticides, veterinary drugs and other chemical waste released
into rivers, lakes and shorelines.
But
now a new source of Glucosamine, manufactured using environmentally
friendly technology, has just been announced by Ethical
Naturals Inc., a raw material supplier to the nutritional
supplement, food and beverage industries, based in San Anselmo,
California. "Our GreenGrown™
Glucosamine is 100% vegetable source containing no aquaculture
by-products," says Cal Bewicke, President of Ethical Naturals
Inc. " It also brings a number of other advantages to manufacturers
and consumers."
GreenGrown™
is produced through a unique, proprietary process of corn fermentation,
with further refinement to meet the highest levels of purity.
It's available in both HCL and Sulfate, and is Kosher Certified
so that it does not require a label warning necessary on all
supplements containing shellfish material. GreenGrown™
also serves as a suitable option for vegetarians because it's
derived from corn and not from shellfish, and has no negative
association with the contamination caused by the Asian aquaculture
industry.
Every
batch of GreenGrown™
is screened and guaranteed pesticide-free. It is manufactured
to meet the highest USP grade of purity for Glucosamine, and
can be substituted directly for shellfish material in supplements,
foods and beverage products
"
With new uses for Glucosamine in the beverage and food markets,
combined with the expanded, ongoing demand for joint care supplements,
the unique qualities of GreenGrown™
Glucosamine are already attracting a substantial amount of interest
in the supplement industry," ends Cal Bewicke.
