== US Bias ==

From the medical uses section:
"Oral glucosamine is a dietary supplement and is not a pharmaceutical drug. It is illegal in the US to market any dietary supplement as a treatment for any disease or condition.[4]"
I understand why this information was included, but why is it included in the first paragraph of the body in isolation from glucosamine's legal/medicinal status in the rest of the English language diaspora? I fear yet more US bias on "English" language wikipedia. [[Special:Contributions/139.218.177.138|139.218.177.138]] ([[User talk:139.218.177.138|talk]]) 07:02, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
:Could be improved: In the United States, oral glucosamine is a dietary supplement and is not a pharmaceutical drug. It is a prescription drug in some other countries. It is illegal in the U.S. to market any dietary supplement as a treatment for any disease or condition, but it is legal to market a dietary supplement as long as the label does not make a disease claim and also includes the FDA disclaimer statement. For glucosamine, "Helps maintain healthy joints" allowed, while "Restores joint cartilage and cures osteoarthritis" not.[[User:David notMD|David notMD]] ([[User talk:David notMD|talk]]) 11:44, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

== Melting point ==

According to DrugBank, Thieme Römpp and the Merk Index, the predicted melting point is at 88 °C (for α) and 110 °C (for β, decomposition).
Does somebody know which the source of the melting point, given in this article, is?
I think we should either remove the melting point or add, that the data is probably not valuable. [[User:Philrei|Philrei]] ([[User talk:Philrei|talk]]) 12:37, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry this page sounds like a hit piece

Sorry, this page sounds like a hit piece on glucosamine. There's ample medical evidence that it helps relieve arthritis pains and injuries, and it does not convey this. Instead it sounds like a disclaimer. I call this a hit piece. This is one of the worst pages if come to on wikipedia in years, so biased. Somebody's been paid to do this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.151.139.15 (talk) 20:29, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
