User Reviews for glucosamine

It has been 2 months now and the only difference I see is that I get diarrhea more than ever and I had much better results after taking Hondromed for 3 months so I dont think this works for knee pain that I have

I had an accident and needed metal plates in my elbow a few years ago...was told I was at a high risk of developing arthritis..a few years laters i started to really feel the pain and get swelling in my knees after a few days work(physically demanding job)...i thought i was screwed and may need to change job or retire earlier (im only 40)...started taking 1000-1500 mg of glucosamine sulphate a day...the improvements were almost instantly noticeable within a few days..this stuff may not work for everyone...but it drastically improved my life...and i would recommend people in a similar predicament to at least try it.Read More Read Less

Helped my arthritis but it caused about a 10lb weight gain

THIS STUFF HAS BEEN A MIRACLE. AFTER ORTHROSCOPIC SURGERY, I WAS TOLD ID HAVE TO HAVE TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT. MY WIFE SUGGESTED AT LEAST TRYING GLUCOSAMINE AND CONDROITON. I TOOK FOR 2 MONTHS AND I GOT OUT OF BED ONE MORNING AND REALIZED I HAD NO BURNING BEE STINGING PAIN. IT WAS SO FANTASTIC. I WAS IN STUNNED DISBELIEF. NO LIMPING, I WORKOUT 5 DAYS A WEEK WITH WEIGHTS. THIS STUFF HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. NO SURGERY FOR ME.

I took this years ago when my cholesterol was 220. I took one pill but realized I needed to take 2. When I did my cholesterol was 256 so I stopped taking it and it went down to 220 again. I was put on atorvastatin to get my cholesterol under 200. Your article says it doesn’t increase cholesterol but I disagree. I am living proof.

I had chronic back pain with severe deterioration of the cartridge of lower back. Taking Glucosamine Sulphate after two months it has changed my life. Pain has gone from a 9 to a 2. I still have some stiffness that goes away with a few stretches. It is life changing to sleep properly and wake up pain free. I feel like I’m 10 years younger again.

I first got heartburn, acid reflux and then Alopecia, i think this medicine is the reason, my doctor says it cant be Hair loss, can you re verify for me? pain has been reduced but still is...

Have had multiple repair surgeries on both knees with subsequent arthritis . Pain is gone and ease of movement is like new . I take 1500mg daily . Glucosamine + Chondritin . I don’t need ibuprofen or ang other analgesics . It really helps . Also with my back as well .

has reduced the swelling in my hands and helped knee

I was first recommended to glucosamine by my postman, they do many miles each day, my husband and I tried it for a month or two, that was many years ago. Though my husband went on to develope Alzheimer�s and I found he was brighter without his daily dose, I am still taking 2000mg per day. I tried to half it but my arthritis flailed up. May try and reduce to 1500 as this seems to be widely recommended. Otherwise I have to say it works for me. I am 75 years old and more active than most people my age.Read More Read Less

I have been taking this for about 10 years since early signs of arthritis. I am still mobile and nearly pain-free

After patella tendon reconstruction i started taking a Vimerson Health supplement with this as the key ingredient. I do rigorous therapy and I take it at night. i can feel it moving through the joint. At first I attributed it to placebo effect. It's not. It's for real. It actually freaking works.

it works

There is not a way I really can tell if it works for sure. I have taken it for years hopping it works. Afraid to stop because I am not sure it doesn't help. Have had knees going bad for 12 years. Had scopes done and shots in both knees. Now time to replace both knees. As I wrote did it help keep the knees going this long. I really can not say. No way I can prove it. 76 years old. Have joint pain in other site. Do we accept the mfg. words or is there any clinical trials to prove it does or does not work. We in the market place buy on hope but no real clinical trial it does anything. Buyer be ware. DoyleRead More Read Less

I suffer from sciatica. No pain killer I have tried works. I've only be taking one 500gm glucosamine sulphate tablet each day and the pain is completely gone. It's given me my life back.

Took this in one week, knee pain gone but my face turns very dry, red and very itchy for a week so I stopped.

It did ease my knee pain, however had weird reaction. Developed a pain in my right thigh when lying down, on my side. It would subside if I laid on my back.. However, after discontinuing Glucosamine, the pain went away entirely.

Been taking for about 20 years and have helped many others by recommending this.At 70 years old I have little to no pains in my joints

I developed sea food allergies and worsened my joint problems. This is a very dangerous substance

I tore my meniscus and had terrible knee pain for several years. I had surgery to repair my meniscus which helped a lot but I was still having discomfort, stiffness and occasional extreme pain after sitting for extended periods or after exercise. My mom gave me a bottle of glucosamine sulfate to try. It was like a miracle for my knee. I rarely notice knee pain or stiffness anymore. I can exercise without pain. I feel almost back to normal. I would recommend trying glucosamine sulfate especially after surgery when there is residual knee pain.Read More Read Less
