Glucosamine is an amino sugar that serves as a building block for glycosaminoglycans in articular cartilage.
Cartilage structure and mobility
Articular cartilage cushions joint surfaces during movement. Glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin are commonly researched for supporting joint flexibility and mild stiffness associated with active ageing.
Important allergen considerations
Many marine glucosamine formulas derive from shellfish exoskeletons. Check the packaging statement if you have a known seafood allergy.
