Glucosamine and chondroitin supplements DO NOT help with joint pain.

What are synthetic glucosamine supplements?

Not only does glucosamine supplements not work, there are dangers as well.

What should I do if I am suffering from joint pain?

We can achieve this by understanding the science of how our body strengthens our joints.

Our body can self-produce glucosamine

Our body is made up of an amazing group of organs that work in harmony, when appropriate foods and nutrients are given you it.

Our body can produce glucosamine (an amino sugar) from glucose (a sugar) and glutamine (an amino acid). As the body ages, it needs more antioxidants to help maintain healthy cell regeneration.

A plant-based diet rich in glutamine and antioxidants provides the body with material to stimulate glucosamine production and help prevent osteoarthritis.


When our body self-produces glucosamine, it can be use to form and maintain healthy cartilage.
Cartilage is a smooth rubber-like padding that covers the ends of bones to prevent them from rubbing painfully against each other and to absorb shock as they move.


Eating a diet filled with wholesome plant foods, such as brown algae, alfafa, parsley, acerola cherry, spinach and cactus, our body can self-produce glucosamine.

And hence, it can control joint pain.

Exercise helps!

Yes. To understand this, we take a look at the structure surrounding our joints.

Bones are surrounded by soft tissues like muscles, tendons, ligaments. Usually we get joint pain because the muscles around the joint are weak.

So after eating a wholesome diet that helps our body self-produce glucosamine, we can exercise to strengthen the muscles around the joint.

For example, leisure swim, slow stroll, or stretching will be helpful.



To summarise, to help with joint pain, we can
1) Eat a wholesome balanced diet containing glucose and glutamine.
2) Exercise.
