glucosamine / metal chelator

These studies seem to tell us the mode of action of
glucosamine in arthritis is the SAME as the mode of action
of indocin or indomethacine or .. aspirin .. or .. tagamet
or .. metal binding.

<<snip>> Glucosamine is a precursor to a molecule called a
glycosaminoglycan-this molecule is used in the formation and
repair of cartilage. Chondroitin is the most abundant
glycosaminoglycan in cartilage and is responsible for the
resiliency of cartilage. <<snip>>

<<snip>> These outcomes confirm the antioxidant properties
of GAGs (glycosaminoglycans) and further support the
hypothesis that these molecules may function as metal
chelators. <<snip>>
