glucosamine what is your take

[jrmuscle]

i have been taking MSM & Glusosamine for joints health. i was just wondering cause it says on the bottle and in the add that it actually strengthens ligaments and connective tissues along with comforting the joints. but from what doctors have told me and books i have read this stuff does not strenghten tendon!? im confused whats your take on this product overall is it worth taking while working out or not or is it just a gimmick product?

I take it, and been taking it for about 10 years. Ive noticed and read it only works while you take it. When you stop taking it your joints will begin to ache. With that in mind, I dont think it actually strengthen your joints, I think in lubricates your joints while you take it. But the bottom line is, I do notice a difference when I do take it. I have bad knees and after squats they tend to ache, while on glucosamine they ache less.

It took a month before I noticed less pain in the joints and tendons area. I do think it is worth it, go to Sam's Club you can get a 3 month supply of Osteo-Biflex for 25 dollars.

I have been using a combo product called hydra joint (got it at a dirt cheap closeout type store). It has glucosamine msm and a lot of vitamin c maybe another ingredient too. Works really good. Used to hear this nasty tearing sound and would feel discomfort in my knee when doing leg extensions. Problem is gone after just a month or two of using this product. I never seemed to have joint problems until I took letro to reverse some gyno and my joints seemed to stay dryed out after taking it, hopefully I can discontinue taking glucosamine soon and it will go back to normal?

I am 50 and notice a big difference. It is a supp. becoming more mainsream as time goes on. Glucosiminehelps with the collogen formation and the chrondrotin lubes the joints. Vit C also helps to nourish the collogen.
