If you’re looking for a nutritional supplement or vitamin that may reduce or eliminate joint pain then its highly likely you have come across Glucosamine. While research is still not conclusive regarding its usage, many people report considerable improvements following a period of consumption.
Glucosamine is responsible for maintaining the health of cartilage which is a soft tissue that lines joint surfaces. As we age, its concentration reduces and therefore contributes to degeneration of cartilage and subsequently hinders the health of our joints. It is now estimated that one out of every five Australians regularly consume joint health supplements.
Overall these products appear to be extremely safe, however as always further research is needed. Potential side effects may range from stomach upset, heartburn, drowsiness and headaches.
