Taking glucosamine as a supplement has been shown to be as effective as some drugs for the relief of symptoms associated with degenerative joint conditions such as osteoarthritis.

How it works: Glucosamine is formed in the body from glucose and the amino acid glutamine, which 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.
