Glucosamine is included as part of Move's hip & Joint support active ingredients.
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar used by the body to build glycosaminoglycans, key structural components of cartilage and joint fluid. In canine studies, glucosamine has commonly been evaluated together with chondroitin in joint-support formulations. Its role in the formula is to provide nutritional support for cartilage structure, joint cushioning, and everyday mobility.
