Glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM are among the most effective natural support aids for joint and cartilage health. Clinical research
has shown that glucosamine and chondroitin can increase joint comfort, promote flexibility, and improve range
of motion. MSM provides added support to nourish bone and joint tissue to keep it flexible and supple.

According to the National Institutes of Health, “The consensus of expert and industry opinion supports the use of
chondroitin…[and] glucosamine for [bone and joint health]” (Medline Plus 2006). In fact, a
growing body of research supports the supplemental use of 1500 milligrams of glucosamine and 1200 milligrams
of chondroitin as effective dosage levels for joint support.
Your body uses glucosamine in the natural construction and maintenance of cartilage and synovial fluid. Glucosamine
is an amino sugar, a precursor of key components that encourage the incorporation of sulfur into cartilage for
production and repair (Medline Plus 2006). Studies suggest that participants who received glucosamine
supplements experienced stronger and longer-lasting joint health and comfort after six months (Noack 1994).
Another study found that glucosamine offered joint support for postmenopausal women (Bruyere 2004).
Chondroitin is a sulfate and an amino sugar, part of a larger protein molecule called a proteoglycan. These large
proteins give cartilage its elasticity and are also used in its construction and maintenance. Study participants
who received chondroitin supplements experienced stronger and longer-lasting joint health and comfort
after six months.
Glucosamine can be extracted from crab, lobster, or shrimp shells; chondroitin comes from cartilage sources. While most major studies are being designed to evaluate the efficacy of these nutrients in supporting the knees, researchers are also starting to examine how chondroitin can influence the spine.

Individuals with blood sugar concerns should check with their health care practitioner before taking a glucosamine supplement. Those with shellfish allergies should not use glucosamine.
