crookesey Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm not a mardy arse, but I have been in terrible pain over the last few days. I take many vitimin suppliments, but I could hardly walk today, however I have used Gloscoamite gell and am a hell of a lot better. Any comments guys?

Jess22 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Taken orally, glucosamaine works with some people and doesn't with others. If taken with equal strength MSM it is more likely to have an effect, and with Chondrotin too - even better. I'd try a complete joint supplement with these 3 in if you have joint pain. Try and find one with a high level of Gluc and MSM and it needs to be equal amounts. It is more bio-available to some people than others but with the right combination/ source it can help anyone with joint problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiSiSi Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Is it a preventative or a cure for joint pain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesey Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Is it a preventative or a cure for joint pain? I'm sure that it's the former, however if you felt the same as me after only one application you might just start to scratch your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libuse Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 The vet recommended glucosamine with chondroitin for my dog when she seemed to have some muscle stiffness. It appeared to work very quickly and she was moving normally again within a few days. It could be that this was just how long the stiffness took to pass anyway, or it could have been the glucosamine. Unlike with humans though, it obviously can't have been a placebo effect. I'd definitely try it again, on me or the hound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyLover Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm pretty sure it works for me. I have been taking the glucosomine tablets for about 4 years now, and my knees are definately better than they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomarch Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Glucosamine has been proven to have a beneficial effect on joints, but only in the larger strength capsules 1000mgs. I've taken one every day for the past few years and no longer have any muscle or joint stiffness- and I do yoga now! It is completely harmless, being made from fish extract, and is environmentally sound as it is made from bits of fish that would be thrown away. Glucosamine rocks!!

Jenjenz Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I bought some at the weekend with MSM and Chondotin in - it says on the bottle to take 3 a day with meals but the woman in the herbal shop recommended taking them at night because the body can absorb it better at night time or something!
