Glucosamine and chondroitin is a dietary supplement commonly used for the treatment of arthritis. It contains both an amino sugar and a molecule naturally found in the human body; these components may help reduce inflammation, inhibit cartilage-damaging enzymes and compounds, and stimulate chondrocytes (cells that make and maintain cartilage). It is important to talk to your healthcare provider before using glucosamine and chondroitin if you have high blood pressure, a bleeding disorder, or diabetes.
