Glucosamine (Is it a waste)

[RustyTromboneMan]

I have used winny in cycles before and never had a real bad problem with my joints. Unfortunately I had a rotator cuff injury about a year ago and it still is sore at times. I figured I might as well throw some Glucosamine in everyday to prevent further joint pain and be on the safe side. I dont know much about this stuff so I did a SEARCH to see the dosage I should use.

After reading through some threads, it sounds as though many people feel that it takes about 2 months to get into the system. I started taking it 3 days ago and Im starting winny today.

Is there any point to taking it or will it not work because it is true that 2 months is needed?

I prefer MSM for joint problems

I think its a bit overhyped, but it helps. I've had horrible tendonitis in my elbow and its bearable now. It took about two weeks for me to start feeling some relief.

I use something called TripleFLex. It has Glusomine, Chondroitin and MSM in one pill. It helps my joint pain.

i took glucosamine and MSM and it didnt hel with my tendonitis at all, finally had prolotherapy done and im almost as good as new.

So in other words this shit is worthless no matter when I started taking it

fuck no ,its not worthless to every one.one year ago I had a tear
in the cartilidge on my right knee so when ever I lifted or did any
running,a cist would come up behind my knee.doc told me the only way to cure it was surgery.plus my shoulders would dry up once in a while.the usual rotator cuff problems.anyways,to make a long story short,I started taking gloucsamine,2000mg day
and could feel the difference within a month.its been a year
now and the cist has gone away and my shoulders feel great.
and all my poundages are above what they used to be.
shit worked wonders for me.

I don't think so rusty.....Actually the combo mentioned above, ALA, protein, glutamine and creatine about supps that I would ever use. I think that they are all top notch depending on your goals.

I would give it a try if I were you. Just make sure that you take it every day. I know that it has helped me out alot...I have been taking it for the past 5 months.

I'm convinced that glucosomine, MSM, shark cartalidge, elephant scrotums...there all the same bullshit. I used msm/glucosomine/chondrotin while on winny, and the joint pain didn't change at all. Bigggg waste of cash too. Hey Zyg....I've been hearing about prolotherapy....I've got a partial rotator cuff tear that has been lingering for about a year now. I was thinking of prolotherapy, was it worth it for you? Thanks...
