Glucosamine is a dietary supplement commonly used to support joint health and alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis. It is a natural compound found in joint cartilage.
This supplement works by stimulating cartilage regeneration and reducing inflammation, which may help improve mobility and reduce joint pain. It is available in capsule, tablet, or powder form.
Glucosamine is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as nausea, stomach discomfort, or allergic reactions, especially in individuals allergic to shellfish.
It is important to consult a doctor before starting glucosamine, especially if you have other medical conditions or are taking medications.
