A Beautiful Use for Glucosamine Hydrochloride By Gene Bruno, MS, MHS, RH(AHG) Huntington College of Health Sciences While I enjoy using this blog to write about “new,” interesting, evidence-based nutraceuticals, I also enjoy writing about alternative uses for “old” nutraceuticals.

Eine schöne Verwendung für Glucosaminhydrochlorid Von Gene Bruno, MS, MHS, RH(AHG) Huntington College für Gesundheitswissenschaften Während ich diesen Blog gerne nutze, um über „neue“, interessante, evidenzbasierte Nutrazeutika zu schreiben, schreibe ich auch gerne über alternative Verwendungen für „alte“ Nutrazeutika. In diesem aktuellen Blog-Beitrag werde ich genau das in Bezug auf Glucosamin-Hydrochlorid tun. Glucosamins Hintergrund Glucosaminhydrochlorid ist ein Nutrazeutikum, das in der klinischen Forschung ausgiebig zur Behandlung von Osteoarthritis eingesetzt wurde1-3 – und dies ist sicherlich die vorherrschende Verwendung für dieses Nutrazeutikum. Abgesehen von den veröffentlichten klinischen Studien, die die Wirksamkeit von Glucosaminhydrochlorid für diesen Zweck belegen, ist diese spezielle Anwendung …

While I enjoy using this blog to write about “new,” interesting, evidence-based nutraceuticals, I also enjoy writing about alternative uses for “old” nutraceuticals. In this current blog post, I will do just that with regards to glucosamine hydrochloride.

Glucosamine background
Glucosamine hydrochloride is a nutraceutical that has been used extensively in clinical research to treat osteoarthritis1-3 – and this is certainly the predominant use for this nutraceutical. Aside from the published clinical studies demonstrating the effectiveness of glucosamine hydrochloride for this purpose, this particular use makes sense considering that glucosamine hydrochloride, as one of the salt forms of the amino sugar glucosamine, is a component of cartilage proteoglycans. Proteoglycans, in turn, are a main component of the extracellular matrix, a kind of “filler” that is present between the cells of an organism. Here they form large complexes, both with other proteoglycans, with hyaluronic acid and with fibrous matrix proteins such as collagen.

Using glucosamine for dry skin
However, keep in mind that this proteoglycan relationship to the extracellular matrix, hyaluronic acid, and collagen suggests other uses for glucosamine hydrochloride, such as: B. improving the health of dry skin. In fact, research published in a Japanese journal in 2001 provided evidence for this application.

A double-blind, placebo-control study4 of long-term use of glucosamine hydrochloride (1,500 mg/day for six weeks) was conducted in 32 women who normally had dry and rough skin. The following insights were gained:

  • Untersuchungen durch Dermatologen ergaben, dass Glucosaminhydrochlorid die Trockenheit der Haut (p<0,05), das Auftragen von Make-up (p<0,05) und das Peeling (p<0,01) signifikant verbesserte.
  • Die Bestimmung des Feuchtigkeitsgehalts der Haut ergab, dass Glucosaminhydrochlorid den Feuchtigkeitsgehalt der Haut erhöht.
  • Eine mikroskopische Analyse der Hautoberfläche zeigte, dass Glucosaminhydrochlorid die Glätte und Schuppigkeit der Haut verbesserte.
  • These results suggested that long-term use of glucosamine hydrochloride was effective in improving skin moisture levels and smoothness.
