Glucosamine

Benefits and uses of glucosamine

Glucosamine is a natural compound important for connective tissue, helping to maintain cartilage elasticity, joint fluid quality and smooth movement. Its amount in the body decreases with age, so supplementing is especially beneficial for osteoarthritis, joint pain or increased physical exertion. Glucosamine is often combined with chondroitin, MSM or hyaluronic acid for enhanced effects. Regular use helps reduce joint stiffness and discomfort and slows down the breakdown of cartilage.
