They dont say what N-acetylglucosamine is made from, but when I was told to take Cosamin-DS (Glucosamine) I found out the hard way what glucosamine is made out of....crushed shells of crustaceans. (shellfish)

I'm allergic to shellfish.

The one and only time I ever tried glucosamine (Cosamin-DS) I had an allergic reactions. (hives, and my throat got really itchy...something my shellfish allergy has never made me do before)

Be careful what supplements you take if you have allergies. Check the allergen info.
