Glucosamine-(CAT: I003240) is is a naturally occurring amino sugar crucial for the formation and repair of cartilage. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement to support joint health, particularly in individuals with osteoarthritis. Glucosamine helps maintain the elasticity and strength of cartilage by stimulating the production of proteoglycans, which are vital for cushioning joints. It is often combined with other supplements like chondroitin to alleviate joint pain and improve mobility, providing a natural approach to managing joint-related conditions.
