Glucosamine & Joint Health

For consumers with active lifestyles, joint health is a major concern.

For example, over 30% of baby boomers are actively managing joint issues. Worldwide, more than 400 million people are affected by joint and bone problems -- and that’s expected to grow at least 10 percent annually during the next ten years.

Consumers know and understand the benefits of glucosamine. An important constituent of connective tissues such as joints, glucosamine is a molecule produced naturally in the human body.

Dozens of studies and human clinical trials have demonstrated its benefits. And glucosamine is one of the top-selling products in the supplement market.

• Millions use glucosamine to promote mobility and joint health
• 37% of the general population associates glucosamine with joint health
• 78% of past users report continued use of glucosamine/chondroitin
