What is Glucosamine anyways?
Glucosamine, a substance naturally produced in the body, is made up of an amine and a sugar. It’s the building block for several important substances found in the joints of the body, including chondroitin and synovial fluid, the substance that lubricates joints. There are no food sources of glucosamine. Supplements are derived from chitin, the hard outer shells of shrimp, lobster, and crabs.
