Glucosamine FAQ's

What is glucosamine?

Glucosamine is derived from glucose and glutamine (an amino acid). It is used to produce substances in the body that attract and bind water into tissues, making them more resilient. It is especially important to maintain properly functioning joint structures.

How is glucosamine manufactured?

Glucosamine is produced by removing the proteins and minerals from the shells of shrimp and crab. This is done primarily in China, with some coming from other Asian countries, including Thailand and Malaysia.

NOW has developed the Official AOAC Method for testing glucosamine and has used this method for the past five years.
