Product Description: |

Glucosamine (C6H13NO5) is an amino sugar and a prominent precursor
in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids.
Glucosamine is part of the structure of the polysaccharides chitosan
and chitin, which compose the exoskeletons of crustaceans and other
arthropods, as well as the cell walls of fungi and many higher organisms.
Glucosamine is one of the most abundant monosaccharides.It is produced
commercially by the hydrolysis of crustacean exoskeletons or, less
commonly, by fermentation of a grain such as corn or wheat.
Glucosamine appears to be safe for use as a dietary supplement;
effectiveness has not been established for any condition.
In the US it is one of the most common non-vitamin, non-mineral, dietary supplements
used by adults
