In this article, we shall explore another muscle building supplement: glucosamine. The interesting thing about glucosamine is that it will not directly enhance your muscle growth like protein or creatine. Rather, glucosamine is a joint health supplement. How is it considered a muscle building supplement then? Let’s find out.
Glucosamine is what we call an amino sugar. Glucosamine is produced from the shells of crustaceans (e.g. shellfish). It is used mainly in the recovery of joints, which is something very important to building muscles. While muscles contract and lift the weight up, joints are what allow you to move. They are like the support structure of a building. Without them, the building is nothing but just a pile of bricks.
