What is Glucosamine?
Glucosamine is a natural constituent of healthy cartilage and synovial fluid in the joints of the body. It is derived from glucose and the amino acid glutamine, and as we age we tend to produce less. Our bodies use glucosamine to build and repair cartilage, tendons, ligaments, synovial fluid and other tissues. Read more detailed information about Glucosamine and Chondroitin in our Library.
Glucosamine Benefits
We need glucosamine primarily for the healthy structure, strength and shock absorbing functions of our joints.
Although glucosamine is produced by our bodies, our capacity to do this diminishes with age.
Glucosamine provides the raw material for our bodies to maintain and repair the components critical for healthy joint mobility and function. It is a beneficial therapeutic supplement in osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease of the joints of the body.
Glucosamine Side Effects and Contraindications
-
Glucosamine sulphate is in a different category to sulphur drugs and sulphate-containing foods, and will not cause a reaction in people with sulphate allergies.
-
Because glucosamine is usually sourced from shellfish shells, people with shellfish allergies should naturally avoid these products. A vegetarian supplement is available (manufactured using no animal product).
-
People with unstable blood sugar conditions are advised to consult a health practitioner before taking a glucosamine supplement.
Glucosamine Reviews
"My husband has suffered with an old knee injury for over 20 years. This supplement, while not a cure, has the benefits of protecting joints. He's been taking this for 2 years and is able to do plenty of sport without the pain. Would highly recommend as a preventative measure."
– Jane about Nutra-Life Joint Care
"A really effective formula, I have been taking this for over 6 months now and my knee joints are feeling a lot less sensitive and 'clicky' after exercise. I also think it is good value for the quality of product."
– Hannah about Good Health Joint Zone
