Glucosamine
The role of glucosamine is to help synthesize connective tissue.
Technically, our connective tissues like our tendons and ligaments are
composed of collagen and proteoglycans(PGs). PGs form the framework
while collagen fills this space. PGs are comprised of large chains of
modified sugars with the principle sugar being hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is composed of 50% glucosamine. So, that explains how
glucosamine plays such an integral role in maintaining the components
that make our connective tissue strong.This supplement is perfect in
treating knee pain and any sort of arthritic joint.
