I went round to my GP last week as I was getting pains in my knee joints and he told me that it might be the start of arthritis.

As I cannot take the normal glucosamine, I was wondering if anyone has any views on the beneficial effect if any, of vegetarian glucosamine? :roll:

    i thought it was the chondratoin thing (dont know how its spelt ) thats not vegetable that can be from shark fins etc,thought glucosamine stuff was veggie,perhaps am wrong. Suggest asking local health store for inf.

    Hi, Nice to meet you! I've just asked my husband, a biochemist, and he said probably not. Its the shark fin that makes it work????
