Since 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose is a precursor of glycosaminoglycan (mucopolysaccharide), which is the main component of articular cartilage, 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose is often used for bone. Adjuvant therapy for arthritis. Supplementation with 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose may help rebuild cartilage and treat arthritis, but the medical community is currently inconclusive. Experiments have shown that 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose is no more effective at slowing the pain than the placebo used in the reference group.
The dose of oral 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose is usually 1500 mg per day. The commercially available 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose is in the form of its sulfate or hydrochloride and is used in combination with dimethyl sulfone and chondroitin sulfate.
Although 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose may not be effective, at least the medical community has always believed that taking 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose is not dangerous.
However, in general products, there are often problems with excessive sodium content or the addition of preservatives. Although the use of 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose is not dangerous, these additional ingredients sometimes have some side effects for high-age consumers.
