Glucosamine helps preserve and build healthy joints.
Its role in hypothetic reversing joint degeneration is due to its ability to act as an essential substrate and stimulating the biosynthesis of the g l y cos aminog l y c ans
needed for the formation of proteoglycans found in the structural matrix of joints.

Other applications:
It's also described as a potential therapeutic product in wound healing and gastrointestinal disorders. Some evidence suggests that it may be clinically useful
in inflammatory bowel disorders. The proposed explanation is that supplemental glucosamine increases production of heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans by the vascular endothelium, thereby
improving the endothelium's barrier function.
