Glucosamine

Glucosamine, also known as glucosamine or (3R,4R,5S)-3-Amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-2,4,5-triol, is a natural sugar found in the human body. It is an amino saccharide that the body uses to build tissues such as cartilage, bones, nails, ligaments and tendons. Its main function is to support joint and cartilage health. Glucosamine can help slow or prevent degeneration of joint cartilage, a common cause of arthritis.

Glucosamine is often used in nutraceutical products, mostly as a dietary supplement designed to promote joint health and relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis. These products can come in a variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, powders, liquids or gels. In addition, it is also used in cosmetic products, such as creams or ointments for skin and hair care, as it has been shown to have significant moisturizing and regenerative effects. Its other uses can be found in the production of veterinary medicines and feed, where it provides support for the joint health of animals, especially dogs, cats and horses.
