A member asked:
Are glucosamine blood levels associated with joint health?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Glucosamine level has nothing to do with your joint health as glucosamine is not derived from the joints only. It is part of the connective tissue, so any connective tissue destruction will elevate it. It's not a recommended test to diagnose or evaluate arthritis.

Unproven: While these dietary supplements are very popular, their usefulness has not been convincingly proven.
