It is important to note that there are a variety of important substances within cartilage, and glucosamine ingestion, by itself, should not be viewed as the complete answer. In fact, not all studies show glucosamine to be helpful by itself. Some studies show glucosamine is more likely to be effective when taken with other nutrients such as MSM and chondroitin.
Glucosamine is made from the combination of a sugar - hence the first part of the name glucos(e) - and an amine, which is a derivative of ammonia containing nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H) atoms. Glucosamine is found largely in cartilage and plays an important role in its health and resiliency. As we age, we lose some of the glucosamine and other substances in cartilage. This can lead to thinning of cartilage and the onset and progression of osteoarthritis.
