Glucosamine


What is it? Glucosamine is a naturally occurring chemical found in the human body. It is in the fluid around joints. Glucosamine also exists in other places in nature. For example, glucosamine used in dietary supplements is often obtained from the shells of shellfish. Glucosamine can also be made in a laboratory.

There are different forms of glucosamine including glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and N-acetyl glucosamine. These different chemicals have some similarities, but they may not have the same effects when taken as a dietary supplement. Most of the scientific research on glucosamine has involved glucosamine sulfate.

Some glucosamine products are not labeled accurately. In some cases, the amount of glucosamine actually in the product has varied from none to over 100% of the amount stated on the product's label. Some products have contained glucosamine hydrochloride when glucosamine sulfate was listed on the label.

Glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride are most commonly used for osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is also used for many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
