How it works: Glucosamine is formed in the body from glucose and the amino acid glutamine, and is a key part of the structure of cartilage, which is essential for proper joint function. As we get older, cartilage becomes more susceptible to breakdown and damage, which may result in the typical symptoms of osteoarthritis. Supplementary glucosamine can be an important source of this vital amino sugar. Researchers found that 55% of patients with osteoarthritis of the knees had a clinically significant improvement in pain and mobility after a period of four weeks using glucosamine sulfate 1500 mg (500 mg three times daily).
