Glucosamine?

[taratru]

Anyone take it? I'm just wondering.

[vanillahip]

I do. Dammit. I take glucosamine in lieu of getting cortisone shots in my hips.

I'm 27, not 72, just in case you were confused

Yep. My PT recommended I take it, so I went with it. I think it helps? Who knows.

I take a liquid version called MonaVie Active. I used to take the pills but this seems to be working better for me.
As mentioned by someone else already, its a better choice for me then cortisone shots lol

I've tried a few times but something in the ones I've used upsets my guts. Calcium + D works great for my achy old lady knees.

Yes, I take it. I have had problems with my knees since high school since I have been very active in sports all my life. My knees ache, I am 27. I started taking it at 25.

H always tells me how old I am but it helps!

[ebeth]

yes.

I've been tkaing the Osteo-Bioflex brand consistently for about 2 years now. Glucosimine is one of the few supplements I really think is worth taking.

All of the glucosamine supplements I've seen are derived from shellfish... could be a problem if you're sensitive or allergic.

That's why a friend got me on the MonaVie, its a liquid plant based glucosamine, because I was having trouble with the shellfished based stuff.
