What is glucosamine?  Glucosamine is actually an amino sugar and prominent in biochemical synthesis of glycosylated protein and lipids.  It’s found to be part of the chemical structure that makes up exoskeletons of crustaceans, other arthropods, fungi cell walls and many of the higher organisms.  Glucosamine is abundant and is produced commercially mostly through hydrolysis of crustacean exoskeletons.  It can also be made through the fermentation of a grain like corn or wheat.

In the United States, glucosamine is very popular and very commonly used.  Among other things, it is widely believed to be excellent support for the joints.  In conjuction with chondroitin (an important substance composing cartiledge) glucosamine has been clinically proven to help joint health.  As a dietary supplement, glucosamine chondriotin is among the most frequently chosen non-mineral, non-vitamin supplements used by adults.
