Glucosamine

ChrisJohnson203

I have arthritis in knees and neck.

I've taken glucosamine for long time but question the best.

I have Nature's Best and have tried Woods and Simply Supplements.

Is there a definitive best as my knees are creaking badly.?

Welcome thoughts

Hi @ChrisJohnson203 - welcome to the online community!

I see you have arthritis in your knees and neck, and you currently take Glucosamine to help with your symptoms, and you're wondering which make might be the best one to take.

Versus Arthritis has some information on studies on using Glucosamine for arthritis, and they show that when it has an effect it's very small, so we don't have a brand to recommend. Have a look at the information here:

We do have a lot of information on different ways to help manage your pain, I've linked some below which may be of help to you:
