Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound found in the body, particularly in cartilage, which is the flexible tissue that cushions your joints. As we age or place repeated stress on our joints, natural glucosamine levels tend to decline. That’s why glucosamine supplements are commonly used to help support people looking to stay active and mobile. It’s not so much a quick fix, but rather a long-term joint support option¹.

Move Freely with Glucosamine Support

Glucosamine is commonly chosen by:

  • Adults experiencing mild joint stiffness or discomfort
  • Active people who put regular strain on their joints
  • Older adults wanting to maintain joint mobility

It’s often taken alone or combined with other joint-supporting nutrients like curcumin or fish oil, depending on individual needs.

Glucosamine comes in various forms, which can be confusing, especially since they don’t all do exactly the same thing. At Australian NaturalCare, you’ll find it in a few options such as:

Joint health isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we provide different options that allow you to choose what best suits your lifestyle, dosage preferences and needs.

  • What does glucosamine do for joints?

    Glucosamine helps support healthy joint cartilage, reduce cartilage wear and tear, and helps promote healthy joint function. It’s commonly used as a long-term joint health supplement to help maintain joint comfort, flexibility and mobility, associated with mild osteoarthritis, particularly as part of an active or ageing lifestyle.

  • How long does glucosamine take to work?

    Glucosamine isn’t a fast-acting solution. It’s typically taken consistently, before some people start noticing gradual changes. Continued use is commonly used to help maintain joint health over time.

  • What’s the difference between glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine with chondroitin?

    • Glucosamine sulfate is commonly chosen for joint health, cartilage health support, joint mobility and flexibility, or mild joint stiffness, aches and pains associated with mild arthritis or osteoarthritis.
    • Glucosamine with chondroitin combines two naturally occurring cartilage components, offering two nutrients that help relieve mild joint aches and pains associated with mild arthritis or mild osteoarthritis. The right option often comes down to personal preference and individual needs.

  • Can glucosamine be taken with other supplements?

    Yes, glucosamine is often taken alongside other nutrients such as curcumin or fish oil to assist with joint and bone health. If you’re combining supplements, a healthcare practitioner can help tailor the right combination for you.

  • How do I choose the right glucosamine supplement?

    Choosing the right glucosamine product depends on factors like dosage preference, lifestyle, and whether you’re looking for single-ingredient or combination support. If you’re unsure, you can book a free 15-minute chat with our qualified naturopaths for product related guidance.

  • Is glucosamine right for everyone?

    Glucosamine supplements may not be suitable for everyone. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have existing medical conditions, or are taking medications, consult your healthcare professional before use.
