LEHVOSS Nutrition always strive to expand our portfolio, selecting only the highest quality ingredients to share with our customers, which is why we are very excited to announce we have added Vegan D-Glucosamine to our portfolio, available as two grades (HCl and 2 KCl). Both these grades are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and allergen-free, whilst also being animal-friendly! Alongside this, Vegan D-Glucosamine has lower environmental impact – compared to that of chitin-derived shellfish products.
Produced by fermentation, according to research, Vegan D-Glucosamine provides the same health benefits that have made Glucosamine a popular ingredient in supplementation over the years. A study comparing the effects of shellfish-derived glucosamine and fermentation-derived glucosamine found that both had positive impacts on joint health1.
