Glucosamine sulphate tablets

Advantages: Seem to actually work and not expensive if bought in bulk
Disadvantages: none that I can see

Over the last year or so I have suffered pain in both elbows possibly as a result of getting old and rickety (!) or through taking up exercise. The final decision came over Christmas when I had a recurrance of back pain which I also attributed to similar causes. Whatever the cause, I thought I would try some Glucosamine as coincidentally there were a number of press reports on the outcome of studies which seem to support its effectiveness. My initial source was Holland and Barrett who were doing an offer on Glucosamine and Chondroitin tablets, the combination being regarded as even more effective than Glucosamine alone. At the recommended dose these would be a bit dear so after the first 10 days or so I dropped down to one a day.

Go Go Glucosamine

Advantages: it really does work
Disadvantages: min dosage to take daily

The recommended dose to take is 1000mg a day. This stuff really does help ease joint aches pain and stiffness.

I chose Health Perception as it was one of the first to launch Glucosamine in the UK.

These days many people choose to take glucosamine sulphate - I know lots of people who take it in the hope that it will do them some good. From talking to people, I thought that it might be useful to find out how to take it. I hope you find this useful.... WHAT DOES IT DO? Glucosamine Sulphate "helps to maintain healthy joints, tendons, muscles and ligaments" (this is the only way that manufacturers can tell you what is does according to food law). What is really meant, is that glucosamine sulphate forms part of the structure of a jelly like substance (a carbohydrate) called GAG, or glucosaminoglycan. This is the basis of how glucosamine sulphate workd. When people get wear or tear on the joints, the water inbetween the joints (the synovial fluid) can become very thin. This means that the synovial fluid offers little ...
