What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is found naturally in the human body, where it acts as a building block for proteins that make joint cartilage. Unfortunately, we produce less glucosamine as we get older. Along with the fact that glucosamine can’t be obtained solely through diet, it’s easy to see why glucosamine supplements have become so popular, taken by thousands of people worldwide.

Why is ours better?

Many glucosamine tablets are made from the shells of prawns, crabs and other shellfish, making it off limits to vegetarians, vegans and people with shellfish allergies. Healthspan's glucosamine tablets are instead made from a natural source of fermented corn, using a patented process.

Who is this for?

Anyone who wants support for an active lifestyle, including vegetarians, vegans and people with shellfish allergies.
