Purica Vegan Glucosamine HCL
What cartilage is built from.
Glucosamine is a building block of cartilage and of synovial fluid — the thick fluid that cushions your joints. Supplying it helps maintain healthy cartilage, and is a factor in maintaining joint health.
Purica's is glucosamine hydrochloride from plant fermentation. One medicinal ingredient, made in Canada, in powder or veggie capsules.
What it does
Three reasons it belongs in the routine.
01
Healthy cartilage, maintained
Cartilage is the surface your joints move on, and it's built from what glucosamine supplies. Helping maintain it is the whole job.
02
The fluid that cushions
Glucosamine is also a building block of synovial fluid — the thick fluid between joint surfaces that absorbs load and keeps movement smooth.
03
For the joints that carry you
Knees, hips, hands. Glucosamine addresses joint discomfort associated with the breakdown of cartilage — which is what years of hiking, running and stairs come down to.

Fermented, not fished
Most glucosamine starts as shellfish.
It's normally extracted from crab and shrimp shells. Purica's comes from plant fermentation instead — the same glucosamine hydrochloride, without the shellfish.
If you have a seafood allergy, that's the difference between a joint supplement you can take and one you can't. If you don't, it's simply cleaner sourcing: vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, made on Vancouver Island.
