These concerns increase with age and tend to be more prevalent in women than men. Additional risk factors include joint injury or overuse, occupational exposure, genetics, and obesity. Occasional joint flare-ups can also occur in otherwise healthy adults in response to exercise.
Joint health is best managed with a multi-faceted approach including joint-friendly exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and nourishing your joints from within with specialized supplements.
Joint Health: The Basics
A joint is the area where two bones and their respective connective tissues come together. With there being 206 bones in the adult body, you can imagine there are also a lot of joints. Some of these joints are fixed in place or only offer slight movement such as where the bones of the pelvis have fused together.
However, the most common type of joints in the body are movable joints. There are many types of synovial joints and their structure dictates their type of movement. The ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder allows rotation in many directions whereas the hinge joint of the elbow bends and straightens the arm in one direction.

Getting to Know Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a compound found in nearly all human tissues, especially connective tissue. The highest concentrations of glucosamine in the human body are found in cartilage. It is especially good for anyone seeking supplemental ingredients found within joints and connective tissue.
Glucosamine is one of the most well known joint supplements and is available in many different forms including glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride.
Chondroitin
Chondroitin sulfate is a naturally-occurring nutrient found in various types of connective tissue such as cartilage, bone, ligaments and tendons. The structure of chondroitin sulfate causes it to attract water which is good news for your joints. Much like many structures in the body, cartilage is continuously being broken down and replaced by new cartilage. Chondroitin works with enzymes involved in this process to promote a healthy balance. Chondroitin is a compound naturally found in cartilage, synovial fluid and connective tissue.
FAQ: What is glucosamine known for?
Glucosamine contributes to joint health.*It is a key structural component in cartilage and, as a dietary supplement, can be absorbed into the body. Supplementing with 1500 mg of glucosamine a day is the most recommended dosage.
FAQ: Where does glucosamine come from?
The most common source of glucosamine used in dietary supplements is shellfish. The hard exoskeletons of crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp contain a substance called chitin. Chitin is a rich source of glucosamine and acts as the starting material for many dietary supplements. Glucosamine can also be found in the cell walls of plants and fungi, making shellfish-free forms of glucosamine available.
FAQ: Who should take glucosamine?
Glucosamine is the ideal supplement for anyone looking to provide their body with compounds naturally found within the joints. This could mean anyone from competitive athletes to laid-back retirees. Those with occupations that require long periods of standing, walking long distances, or a heavy physical work load are especially good candidates as these can cause stress on joints. Joints are responsible for movements so taking care of them is important to keep moving. Staying active is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
FAQ: Why do I need to supplement with glucosamine?
Although glucosamine is naturally produced by the body, levels of glucosamine may decline with age. There are no major food sources of glucosamine so it is challenging to get in your daily diet without the help from supplementation.

FAQ: Is exercise bad for my joint health?
Physical activity can actually improve joint comfort as well as joint function and quality of life. Strengthening the muscles around a joint help to stabilize the joint itself, improving joint comfort. Incorporate weights, resistance bands, and calisthenics into your exercise routine at least two days a week. Flexibility training such as yoga and stretching should be performed daily to maintain range of motion. Low-impact aerobic activities such as walking, cycling, swimming and light gardening can all be joint friendly and heart healthy. Before starting an exercise program, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional on the level and intensity of exercise appropriate for you.
FAQ: Do I only need to take glucosamine on occasion?
Glucosamine is a nutrient whose levels in the body may decline with age. As such, it should be consumed on a regular basis. Just as you would take a multivitamin every day to ensure your body is getting all the vitamins and minerals it needs, glucosamine should be taken daily to deliver nutrition to your joints.
FAQ: If glucosamine is naturally found in the body, why do I need to take a supplement?
While it’s true that glucosamine is naturally found in the body, this does not mean that supplementation is not important. There are many nutrients produced in the body that can still be important as a dietary supplements. For example, vitamin D is produced in the body when the sun is exposed to sunlight. Despite this, taking vitamin D as a supplement can contribute to obtaining optimal levels of this important nutrient. Even if you do not choose to supplement with vitamin D, there are food sources of vitamin D available in the diet such as eggs and fortified milk. Unfortunately, there are no major dietary sources of glucosamine, making supplements even more important.
FAQ: Do I need to take glucosamine if I eat shellfish?
There are no major food sources of glucosamine. Although glucosamine can be sourced from shellfish, it comes from the hard outer shell and not the part you eat. By supplementing with Puritan’s Pride® glucosamine products, you can be sure you are getting this important nutrient.
FAQ: Can people with shellfish allergies take glucosamine?
It is true that most of the glucosamine in dietary supplements is sourced from shellfish. However, shellfish is not the only source of glucosamine available. Glucosamine can also be found in the cell walls of plants and can be extracted to make supplements. Puritan’s Pride® offers a shellfish-free glucosamine that is sourced from corn. Vegetarians and anyone else looking to avoid shellfish can still reap all the benefits of glucosamine by choosing a shellfish-free version. Anyone with a shellfish allergy is advised to carefully read product labels before purchasing.
FAQ: Is glucosamine only for runners and athletes?
Repetitive movements performed in certain sports such as running may cause wear and tear on the joints, especially if performed consistently with bad form. Glucosamine may be a particularly good choice for active individuals who are looking to provide their body with a key structural component of cartilage. But that doesn’t mean it is only intended for the elite athlete. Glucosamine is ideal for anyone since levels can decline with age. Whether it be daily walks or just running errands, staying active is important for everyone.
