Glucosamine - does anyone take it?

DoOver · September 27, 2011

I'm getting ready to start taking glucosmine. Does anyone here take it and, if so, how do you tolerate it? I read the directions and it said to take with meals and lots of Water. That's not going to happen. So wondering if others are taking it and how they take it.

I took this before and found it really helped my knees so I want to get back on. Or at least try.

I will say I'm getting a bit sick of all the pills I have to take. But I think it's work the try to add these 2 back onto the stack.

I have taken it in the past but not since I had surgery in July. I found that when I was taking it, it did help with my pain somewhat. I finally had surgery in May for my probelm area (only eliminated one problem) but not the underlying problem. I may start taking it again, but not within the next few months. Good luck!

Notice any change to the results?

I'm 6 months out so I can take it, I'm just wondering if it will be as well absorbed and used by my body now. It wasn't a perfect solution before as my knees are shot, but it did seem to make a difference to the better.

I took one today. I wish I would wise up and stop buying Vitamins and supplements in a dark NOT see through bottle. These are the size of horse pills. But thankfully, it's only a 1 month supply. Tomorrow I'll shift up to the 2 a day dose.
