Shellfish are a known allergen and glucosamine is derived from shrimp shells. However, people who are allergic to shellfish are actually allergic to the protein troponin, which is found in the muscle (protein) of shrimp. Analyses do not find any protein in the glucosamine hydrochloride used in Mona Vie Active Juice. Glucosamine hydrochloride (GHCl), the form of glucosamine used in Mona Vie Active Juice, is more than 99 percent pure.

If you are allergic to shellfish, consult your doctor before deciding to take glucosamine. In most cases, however, allergies are caused by proteins in shellfish, not chitin, a carbohydrate from which glucosamine is extracted. Furthermore, there is no crossover between the acid derived chitin from shells and the antigens that cause shellfish allergies since the acid process required to leach the chitin from the shell strips away the carbohydrate side chains that would be antigenic.

Most of our glucosamine products and chitosan are sourced from the chitin (hard shell) of crab and other shellfish. It may be best to avoid these products if you have an allergy. We do, however, have a shellfish-free Glucosamine HCl, derived from corn fermentation.

Chitosan, obtained from the exoskeleton of shellfish, is an insoluble fibre. Before processing, the raw exoskeleton is composed of insoluble fibre, protein, and trace elements, such as iodine. During the manufacturing process, chitosan is refined to such an extent that the insoluble fibre is the only significant nutrient remaining. The protein and iodine are removed during the refinement process.

People with sensitive skin can feel the microscopic scales on the wool fibers, but we have tests showing that wool doesn't create allergies per sae. Some wool carpet (Arabian Desert for instance) can feel softer than others for crawling on.

It is unlikely that you would have any reaction; however it is always advisable to consult your primary care physician.

The allergen with shellfish is a protein and not iodine. The potassium iodide in our formulations is the same type of iodine that is added to Morton salt. Iodine is required for the body's synthesis of thyroid hormones, which control the body's metabolism. Sulfites are salts of sulfurous acid and are used as preservatives in certain foods such as wines and some "shelf products" to prevent spoilage.

If you're allergic to shellfish, you should not take CetylMax™ tablets, as they contain Glucosamine, an ingredient derived from shellfish. However, there is no Glucosamine found in the topical analgesic cream formula. See our CFA Clinical Studies link to the left. CFA has been carefully studied, and that clinical research has been published publicly in such places as The Journal of Rheumatology (August 2003) and the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (2005).

Allergies are normally a reaction to the proteins in shellfish. Full Motion glucosamine is derived from the shell and is so pharmaceutically pure that there should be no problem with allergic reactions.

R. No allergic reactions to glucosamine sulfate has been reported. However, to be cautious, people allergic to sulfa drugs had better take glucosamine hydrochloryde.

People that are allergic to latex are allergic to the protein enzymes in natural latex. Latex that is used on today’s carpet is a synthetic latex that doesn’t have these protein enzymes. Request that the adhesive being used be tested and comply with the CRI IAQ testing program, meaning that the adhesive has the lowest possible emissions. Ventilation and good air exchange for approximately 48 to 72 hours should alleviate most odors.

Tell your doctor or nurse about your allergies during your checkup. Try to make a plan for delivery. When you get to the hospital, remind your doctor if you are allergic to any medicines. There are a variety of different antibiotics that can be used, even if you are allergic to some.

Shellfish enhancement is a management tool used by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to increase opportunities for recreational harvest on certain public beaches by adding to the clam and oyster resource which occurs naturally. Our enhancement technique is to routinely "seed" suitable beaches with juvenile clam and oysters.

Yes, although most cats will aggravate your allergies, there are several different varieties of dogs that won’t. For example, poodle and poodle mixes have hair instead of fur and so will do fine with most people who are allergic.. This acronym stands for Domestic Short Hair, which is the most popular type of cat to come into our and most other shelters. These are basically mixbreed cats who come in all shapes and sizes.

Do I need to wear a life jacket? Youth under the age of 13 must wear personal flotation devices (PFDs), which SCRC provides. PFDs can be worn at any age, if the rower or parent has a concern.
