What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine can be found in the human body, where it acts as a building block in joints cartilage. Unfortunately, we make less glucosamine as we get older.

As it’s not possible to get enough from our diets, scientists in the latter decades of the 20th century began to consider the potential benefits of glucosamine supplements, and research began. Glucosamine is currently taken by thousands of people worldwide.
