Pharmacology
Glucosamine is a natural amino-sugar, produced by the body and found in certain foods. It is the most fundamental building block required for biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) like Hyaluronic Acid, Keratan Sulfate, and Chondroitin Sulfate. Chondroitin Sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan found in connective tissue, especially in the articular cartilage. Combining Glucosamine with Chondroitin Sulfate shows synergistic effect. Data supports that this combination has been shown to be very much effective in severe cases of Osteoarthritis that treats both signs and symptoms of Osteoarthritis and modifies disease progression.
