A member asked:
While glucosamine is broken down by stomach acids into glucose and glutamine, isn't it the same thing to take glutamine instead of glucosamine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glucosamine: You are correct! The only difference is that the glucosamine in the form of tablets or capsules is concentrated. You do the same from your diet, but that would be a lot of beef. New data shows that glucosamine may be no better than a sugar pill for knee arthritis.
