Hi

I've used in the path as my uncle swears by it. I think these things are very individual like medication I guess work for some not others as long as no medical clash Id say you'd need to try for yourself and see. One thing I've learned is natural products can take a long time to get into and work on the system whereas modern society has got us so used to instant results if it doesn't work straight away we disregard.

Best of luck

Hi albion, I used it for 6 months last year and it was very expensive but didn't do anything. I felt no difference at all. If you're not very active it can make you put weight on!

I have not used it yet but was told it's good for osteoarthiritis. I would buy the good one with chrondoitin, don't do it by half measures.

I take glucosamine, not for general health but specifically for the joints. Unlike other supplements, I feel the benefit within a few days. I have FA, by the way.

Not what you're looking for?
