Glucosamine, a building block of joints
Glucosamine is a natural sugar with amino groups that is very important for the structure and health of our joints.

Effects and Use
Glucosamine sulfate is a well-known dietary supplement for relieving joint pain, particularly in knee osteoarthritis. It can slow the wear of cartilage, stimulate its renewal and reduce inflammation. Studies show that it can improve mobility and enhance the quality of life of those affected. As the effect does not occur immediately, it is recommended to take it for at least 2 to 6 months.
Source and Tolerability
Because few foods contain much glucosamine, it is usually obtained from the shells of shellfish such as prawns, lobster or crabs. For vegans, there are products produced by the fermentation of fungi. Glucosamine supplements are generally considered safe and well tolerated. Rarely, mild gastrointestinal problems may occur.
Glucosamine is often taken together with chondroitin to enhance its effect. Overall, glucosamine is important for healthy joints and can help you stay mobile, especially as you get older or when playing sports.
