Description
Indications
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring chemical within the body. Glucosamine supplements are available in various forms such as glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and N-acetyl glucosamine. The body utilizes glucosamine to produce other compounds essential for building tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and the synovial fluid surrounding joints.
Supplementing with glucosamine may potentially enhance cartilage and synovial fluid around joints, aiding in the prevention of their degradation. Glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride are commonly used by individuals suffering from osteoarthritis.
