Glucosamine and the Pescatarian Diet
Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is naturally present in the fluid around joints and is also found in animal bones, bone marrow, and certain fungi. It is commonly used in dietary supplements intended to support joint health, particularly for conditions such as osteoarthritis. While glucosamine is often derived from the shells of shellfish, it can also be produced synthetically in a lab, which may be suitable for individuals with shellfish allergies or specific dietary restrictions.
