Glucosamine is an amino sugar and is generally produced from the shells of crab or shrimps, shellfish (chitin) and is a key nutrient of the extra cellular matrix of cartilage. It works to stimulate joint function and may repair cartilage in your weight-bearing joints. There have been many clinical studies and the results demonstrate relief with joint pain and an easing in osteoarthritis pain, while stimulating and rehabilitating cartilage and joints that have been damaged
Glucosamine does not occur naturally in any food source, our bodies produce Glucosamine naturally. As we grow older our bodies lose the ability to produce sufficient quantities of Glucosamine, therefore dietary supplementation is an important source to replenish and stimulate health requirements, D-glucosamine can play an essential part to stimulating our cartilage and maintaining healthy joints
