Glucosamine, a natural substance found largely in cartilage, is the critical building block of connective tissue substances that form the cartilage, which contributes to the health and strength of joint structures. Most people in their later years lose the ability to manufacture sufficient levels of glucosamine, causing early morning stiffness, stiffness following periods of inactivity, aches and pains.

Please just put 2 in your cart and you'll get the 3rd free. You'll be receiving 3 bottles of Nn Glucosamine.

By providing the joint restorative nutrient, glucosamine normalises cartilage metabolism, prevents cartilage from drying up, protects joints against pressure and friction, maintains flexibility of cartilage, controls cartilage-destroying enzymes, relieves stiffness and joint pain, and strengthens body's natural repair mechanisms.

Tell-Tale Signs That Your Joints May Need Glucosamine

• Aching and stiffness especially in the morning

• Creaking and cracking of joints on movement

• Recurrent neck pains with shoulder aches

• A stiff low back exacerbated when sitting down for a couple of hours

• Pain in a joint during or after activity

• Discomfort in a joint before or during a change in the weather

• Walking becomes painful

• Painful to bend knees at will

Frequently Asked Questions

I notice that Nn Glucosamine contains glucosamine sulphate. Is the sulphate portion of glucosamine sulphate important?

Sulphate means that the glucosamine is attached to a sulphur atom. Those with arthritic problems are deficient in sulphur, an essential nutrient for cartilage and joint health. Restoring sulphur levels in joint fluids safeguards against cartilage destruction and degradation.

Is Nn Glucosamine safe to take during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding

No study so far has been done with glucosamine in regards to pregnancy and breastfeeding. We therefore advise that you do not take glucosamine during pregnancy or whilst breadfeeding. 

How long does it take to notice improvement with Nn Glucosamine?

With 500 mg of glucosamine sulphate 2-3 times a day, most people will experience significant improvement within eight weeks. However, as the benefits are cumulative and long-lasting, the longer it is consumed, the more obvious are the results.

Clinical Trials

Excerpts of clinical studies conducted from 1998 to 2000

Study on glucosamine in the treatment of osteoarthritis conducted in the U.S.A

Data suggested that glucosamine decreases pain and improves joint function in osteoarthritis. Glucosamine sulphate is shown to be as good as ibuprofen (an anti-inflammatory drug), for osteoarthritis of the knee.

Studies conducted in the U.S.A to show that glucosamine enhances production of hyaluronic acid in osteoarthritis

The concentration and molecular weight of hyaluronic acid (HA) in joint fluid are decreased in osteoarthritis. Several trials have shown that a high dose of glucosamine stimulates production of HA. This provides symptomatic relief, enhance shock-absorbing properties of cartilage and in the long-term, aid the repair of damaged cartilage.

Study conducted in Belgium showing effectiveness of glucosamine for osteoarthritis

Several entities that have been carefully investigated demonstrated that glucosamine sulphate clearly relieved pain and improved functional disability.
