CautionSometimes. Glucosamine is found in the fluid around the joints, in animal bones, bone marrow, shellfish, and fungi. It can also be made in a lab, so if the label does not provide a source, we recommend calling the manufacturer.
Glucosamine and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Glucosamine is an amino sugar that plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of cartilage within the joints. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement to support joint health, particularly in individuals with osteoarthritis. While glucosamine is naturally found in the fluid around the joints, it can also be sourced from animal bones, bone marrow, shellfish, and fungi. Additionally, it can be synthesized in laboratories, providing an alternative source for those with shellfish allergies or dietary restrictions.
