Glucosamine is a compound naturally found within the cartilage of our joints, made from chains of sugars and proteins bound together.
Glucosamine is a natural compound that helps form cartilage and synovial fluid that helps keep our joints healthy. Many Americans lack sufficient glucosamine and can benefit from taking supplements. Studies found getting extra glucosamine, either through a natural food source like bone broth or a supplement, could help ease symptoms of arthritis and osteoarthritis. Glucosamine also helps heal leaky gut and appears to reduce symptoms in many people living with Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis.
