The body uses glucosamine to generate other compounds that help to develop tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and the fluid around joints. The fluid and cartilage that surrounds joints provide cushioning. Glucosamine may help reduce joint degradation by increasing cartilage and fluid around joints.
For osteoarthritis, glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride are often used. Joint discomfort, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis are all treated with glucosamine.
Collagen
Collagen is the most plentiful protein in the human body. It keeps skin supple and supports the cartilage in joints.
