What is glucosamine?

This monosaccharide is a natural chondroprotective compound providing strength and elasticity to joints and cartilage. It can help prevent inflammation, reduce joint pain, and boost calcium absorption and sulphur synthesis. These are essential structural components of our connective tissues.

Small amounts are naturally produced in the human body. However, with age, the activity of cells decreases, and they can't make it in sufficient quantities. Without glucosamine, cell regeneration is impaired. This may lead to chronic pain, inflammation, and joint diseases such as osteoarthritis.

Therefore, regular intake of dietary supplements is essential for maintaining good musculoskeletal health.

Potential glucosamine benefits for your health

Regular intake of these supplements may contribute to the following health improvements:

  • Repair of lesions in connective tissues caused by injuries, joint diseases, and other health conditions
  • Pain relief and joint crunch reduction
  • Bone and cartilage health support for the elderly and people undergoing intense physical activity, such as athletes
  • Enhanced joint mobility by removing stiffness
  • Slowing down of destructive processes in the joints to prevent structural changes

To enhance its therapeutic effect, glucosamine tablets can be combined with other joint supplements like curcumin, MSM, turmeric, green-lipped mussel, and rosehip.

At Pharmacy Direct, you will find a complete range of quality arthritis and joint health products from leading brands such as Bioglan, Blackmores, Nature's Own, Swisse, and more. Our extensive selection is sure to meet all your health needs.

How to take glucosamine for joints

This compound has been proven effective as a daily supplement for joint health support and as an additive to musculoskeletal treatments. In general, adults should take a minimum of 700 mg per day to achieve optimal results. However, when used as a treatment, the daily dose may increase to 1500 mg depending on health conditions.

You'll find it in various forms at Pharmacy Direct, so you can pick the one that works best for you. Tablets and capsules are convenient and easy to use, tailored to meet your daily monosaccharide needs. Alternatively, glucosamine powder allows you to adjust the dosage and divide the daily intake into several doses to ensure optimal absorption.

If you are still deciding which product to choose, consult one of our pharmacists. We are always ready to give professional advice and help you choose the best solution.

Side effects of glucosamine

This monosaccharide is relatively safe and rarely causes side effects when taken as directed. However, large amounts (about 3,000 mg per day) may cause headaches, stomach pain, diarrhoea, and even pancreatic toxicity. Be sure to read the instructions for your product carefully and follow them.

Furthermore, some studies have shown that glucosamine can interfere with glucose absorption, so people with diabetes should take the supplement cautiously.

If you have further questions about supplement intake, please let us know, as our expert team is always ready to help.
