What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is commonly used or prescribed as an over-the-counter dietary supplement to slow cartilage loss in patients with osteoarthritis or, in general, to contribute to overall joint health. It is often combined with chondroitin, a similar molecule that also helps to slow cartilage loss.

Glucosamine is a precursor to a family of molecules called glycosaminoglycans (which includes chondroitin) that are used to build the fibers that make up cartilage. It is claimed that taking Glucosamine can help to rebuild cartilage, although this has not been proven.

Glucosamine is available over-the-counter but it is often prescribed to patients with osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition in which the cartilage in large joints progressively wears away. The effects of Glucosamine supplementation will be evident over the long-term as it slows or stops the progress of osteoarthritis.

Glucosamine is taken as a capsule.

What are the side effects of Glucosamine?

As a naturally-occurring molecule in the body and many foods, Glucosamine does not have significant side effects. However, Glucosamine supplements often have other inactive ingredients, so allergic reactions to Glucosamine supplements may happen in some people. These side effects include itching, rash, hives, eye pain, trouble breathing, or headache. If you have any reaction to Glucosamine supplements, stop taking the supplement and consult with your physician.
