I've heard that glucosamine is good for your joints, I've been taking [Link removed by moderator Z]since I run to stay fit. I don't know what the long term effects are, but I take it to help my joints and more of the preventative side.

    Please be aware that, according to contemporary research, there is no proven benefit to taking Glucosamine for arthritis suffers.

    Hi
    The latest i heard is that glucosamine is better for knees than hips.....but its a while back I heard that.,
    A lot of us here have tried it but a lot of us {me inc :lol: } havent taken it long enough to have an effect.
    The way I look at things like that is.....it might not do any good but if it doesnt do any harm go ahead......It might have a palcebo effect but who cares if it helps some way.

    Love
    Hileena

    My grandmother used the natural supplements MX High Potency Joint Aid. I don't know if you heard this product before, but if you will search over internet, it raves good reviews. It Increase mobility by reducing inflammation, swelling & stiffness and it reduce the pain and improve your quality of life. Just sharing my grandma joint pain supplements : )

    I think it all depends on the type of arthritis one has and, indeed, on whether one actually has arthritis or just likes to think one has. Quite a few like to think they do which is why they swear by these things. If they actually had it, they would possibly come to a different conclusion methinks. It's a tricky business, this arthritis malarkey. DD
