Is Glucosamine Supplement Safe?

Many opt to take Glucosamine supplements whenever there is a joint pain or suffer from arthritis. 

For me, I won't go for that due to many reasons. 

This is one of the article from The Straits Times, which stated clearly on why Glucosamine and chondroitin don't work






"Compared with placebo,glucosamine, chondroitin and their combination DO NOT reduce joint pain or have an impact on narrowing of joint space."

"I tell my patients clearly that glucosamine sulphate is essentially a mild anti-inflammatory agent with minimal side effects compared to standard pain killer"

Learning how to read ingredient label is important, to be wiser consumer. 

2 Sources of Glucosamine Supplements

Animal made or man made (synthetically made)


What could be the potential side effects if we replacing the Glucosamine from external sources? Either from Animal or man-made?



Watch this youtube to understand more on where does ingredients of animal made Glucosamine comes from, and how it affects our body? (This video is in mandarin, it gives us clearer understanding on what's going on at the back of animal made Glucosamine)



How do we know if the Glucosamine that we are taking is animal made or man made? 

Have you looked at ingredient label before you buy any supplements? 

Let's learn to read label, it's a simple process. 



1. Guess where does this Glucosamine made from? 


Is it obvious that it's from Animal (crab, shrimp, lobster, crayfish) - It's replacement Glucosamine. 

2. How about this? Vegetarian Glucosamine


Naturally there is no Glucosamine exists in plant food, Glucosamine HCI (Hydrochloride) is usually made in lab and use corn as partial material, thus it's considered as man made Glucosamine. 

What are better solution for our joint? 



By taking the right food to let our body to produce Glusosamine naturally, we are able to safe guard and protect out joints without any side effects. 

Fruits and vegetables which are high in Glutamine are great in letting our body to self produce Glucosamine



Above are the variety of the fruits and vegetables which help to protect our joint. 

If you are looking for convenience and safe products, you can look for GART which is combining Cactus, Spinach, Parsley, Ginger, Alfalfa, Acelora Cherry, Brown Algae
