Abstract
The present commentary critically evaluates the role of glucosamine in joint health, specifically exploring the potential of vegan glucosamine as an alternative of crustacean glucosamine. While acknowledging glucosamine's established benefits in managing osteoarthritis, this commentary underscores concern regarding the limited data supporting the clinical use of vegan glucosamine. Methodological flaws in the bioequivalence study, lax quality parameters, and the absence of safety data for E. coli-derived vegan glucosamine are highlighted. The commentary calls for caution in endorsing vegan glucosamine for osteoarthritis patients, stressing the need for further research and a thorough evaluation of its efficacy and safety before widespread clinical adoption.
