Glucosamine- The secret to healthy joints

Glucosamine is one of a group of substances known as amino sugars, hence the "Glucos-" and "-amine" group. Though it looks like a sugar, it is only used to structure body tissues, instead of being a form of energy.
Glucosamine has been proven in more than 300 studies to actually build joint cartilage, helping those with osteoarthritis and when combined with Chondroitin sulfate, it can have an even greater effect.
Though you might have heard Glucosamine is only good for the joints,it is also involved in the formation of the nails, tendons, skin, eyes, bones, ligaments, and heart valves! It's amazing at how beneficial this supplement can be. Your body responds to it well since Glucosamine is already produced in the body and is found in high concentrations around your joints, but it can be even more beneficial and even therapeutic if extra supplementation is taken.
Even more reasons to take Glucosamine:
