Glucosamine, a popular joint-pain supplement, may worsen outcomes in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and a newly identified metabolic pathway involving excessive protein glycosylation could help explain why, new research suggests.

In a large electronic health record analysis, glucosamine use was associated with a 25% higher likelihood of progression from MCI to dementia over 5 years. Experiments in human brain tissue and mouse models suggested that excessive protein glycosylation may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression and that glucosamine supplementation could exacerbate the process by fueling glycan production.

Although preliminary, researchers said the findings point to glycan metabolism as a possible therapeutic target and raise questions about the safety of glucosamine use among patients with established dementia. https://mdsc.pe/4aqaUcD
