Why not just eat natural sources like cartilage, bone broth, skin etc ?
- bitxbit 6y agoThis so much. Absorption rate could vary quite a bit and it’s nearly impossible to research and find a good source these days due to insane number of supplement manufacturers in the market (I partly blame Amazon for this).
- mkl 6y agoGlucosamine tablets are made from natural sources, usually seafood (e.g. shells of shrimp, lobsters, and crabs).
- hinkley 6y agoI’ve heard that in japan (or at least parts of it) they eat shrimp whole, and it’s kind of amusing when visitors bite off the tails. Also the little “bones” from certain fish I expect do the same.

- jiofih 6y agoInterestingly most sources I could find on the web say categorically that “No natural food sources of glucosamine exist”, while the the supplement is made from sea shells. All resources related to canine health on the other hand mention cartilage, bone marrow and beef trachea as rich in glucosamine... someone is being dishonest there.
