19-Feb-2017

Key points from article :

One of the most commonly used supplements frequently taken to promote joint health.

Glucosamine naturally occurs in cartilaginous joint tissues and is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

Plenty of food sources but cooking denatures it so hard to get sufficient from diet alone.

Inhibits the NF-kB protein complex, a central mediator of inflammation and central to the aging process, especially when combined with chondroitin.

Studies have also shown a reduction of cancer mortality risk.

It may be worth considering as part of your health regimen.
