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.
You dont realise it at first, but stop taking it for a day or two and you realise how much it was actually working for you.
I swear by the stuff, and think supplements are better than artificail drugs, cos i take like 28 pills a day, without my pain killers! ( yes i rattle when i bounce)

on the downside, the tablets are huge so ...
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.
