Uses:

Glucosamine (2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose) is an amino sugar that is the main precursor for the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids, and is often used to treat osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and degenerative joint disease marked by loss of cartilage, bone changes, and synovial membrane inflammation. Treatment with chondroprotective drugs, such as glucosamine sulfate may offer additional benefits to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs treating the painful symptoms of OA. Glucosamine is commonly used over the counter as a treatment for arthritic joint pain, although its acceptance as a medical therapy varies due to contradictory and findings with unclear clinical significance during clinical trials.
