When I was 2 wk into the programme I started with the dodgy knees during the doctor visit I mentioned I'd started on glucosamine tablets , he told me I didn't need them there just for arthritis . Well regardless I carried on taking them with the cod liver oil . I've run out of glucosamine & was wondering if to replace them ,I no longer have knee problems just wanted some advice & wondering I'm any of you take them arthritis or not ?

Well, I do take glucosamine but it's hard to know whether it has a good effect as you don't know how you would be if you weren't taking them! On the whole I feel it can't be doing any harm and may just be helping. I find my arthritis is much affected by what activity I have been doing and by the weather! Running does not seem to have made it any worse.

Cod liver oil is good for the joints, never taken Glucosamine so can't help there.

Been taking Glucosamine high dose for a year now and my joints are better than before. MY GP agrees I should take them but it may be if your younger ( I am over 50), they are not deemed necessary. Just a thought.
Well I'm 55 & have taken the ones I purchased , so I think I'll get some more . It was the doctor what put me off , saying there for arthritis & I don't need them .

I take them. My chiropractor recommended them when he was in the long process of straightening out my spine, and I've just kept on taking them to help protect my cartilages.
