As a naturally occurring long chain amino-sugar molecule, glucosamine plays an important role in cartilage health and resilience. Glucosamine is the major building block of proteoglycans, and is used in the formation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which bind water within the structure of cartilage and give cartilage its flexible and protective properties. It also stimulates collagen production.
 
Glucosamine has been proven to be at least equal to conventional NSAID therapy for osteoarthritis, with over 20 controlled clinical trials with more than 6000 participants judging it to be effective as a treatment for the relief of pain and functional impairment.[i] It also has a particularly safe toxicity profile, and may be used in conjunction with conventional anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatments, making it an attractive adjuvant therapy option for the management of arthritis.
