Hundreds of studies support the benefits of Glucosamine to relieve joint pain due to osteoarthritis. Clinical studies show it may reduce cartilage degradation and aid in the rebuilding of cartilage. It provides much-needed relief from pain, enabling millions of people and animals to live more active, healthy lives – See More Info.
The most recent science supporting GlucosaGreen® shows benefits beyond joint health. A study in the journal Nutrients,1 glucosamine supplementation supported healthy elimination and gastrointestinal health, by reducing stomach bloating and stool function. It improved branched chain amino-acid excretion with no negative effect on short-chain fatty acid levels. The 14-day supplementation also reduced phylogenetic diversity and proportions of Pseudomonadaceae, Peptococcaceae, and Bacillaceae.
The researchers concluded that these results may open avenues for further study into potential benefits for muscle health, muscle breakdown and age-related muscle loss.
