Pharmacokinetics of Glucosamine in Man
| Article
Summary: |
The
different routes of administration for glucosamine
sulfate were compared in males. Glucosamine sulfate
was administered either orally, through an IV or
intramuscularly (through an injection). When administered
through an IV, the glucosamine can be found in various
tissues in the body very quickly, and peaking after
8-10 hours. A similar pattern can be found with
intramuscular administration. The oral administration
is also effective at allowing the glucosamine to
disperse and be absorbed by various parts of the
body. All three methods are suitable administration
routes for glucosamine sulfate to be taken into
the body using. |
