Glucosamine is the major building block for proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the connective chains and latticework that bind to collagen to make up cartilage.
Healthy cartilage is important for joint flexibility, and glucosamine can help protect cartilage. Until recently, glucosamine was only available when sourced from shellfish. Our Vegetarian Glucosamine is sourced from plants, providing a vegan option.
