Overview: Glucosamine is a naturally occurring chemical found in the human body. It is fluid that is found around the joints. Glucosamine is commonly used for arthritis and to help reduce inflammation in the joints. Researchers think that taking glucosamine supplements may either increase the cartilage and fluid surrounding joints or help prevent breakdown of these substances, or maybe both.
Common Dosage:The recommended dosage for Glucosamine is 500mg three times daily in healthy adults.
