User Reviews for glucosamine

every time i try glucosamine i get more stiffness in my joints and more aches and pains...i dont know if this is a case of -it gets worse before it gets better???? would love some feedback..

Have been taking this supplement and Fish Oil, but not completely has helped my condition.

I have a lot of arthritis due to a major car accident I am 72 yrs old and feel good if I take my glucosamine sulfate

I had lower back pain, and leg cramps, since I have been on this treatment, I have not had any pain. I really feel good.

I take it with condroiten - 750/600, for about fifteen years. If I have to stop it eg. before an operation, I can't wait to get back on it because the pain that i expierence is incredable. You must take for several months to start feeling any results. I felt better much sooner.

Relief gotten within 3-4 doses. My product is Novovartalon. Found in Mexico with 1500mg sulfate glucosamine and 15 mg meloxicam, packets of powder taken mixed with water.

If I don't take gloucosamine/chondroitin, my fingers are stiff in the mornings. I took it, then I quit and started back on it and will continue to take it. It helps me, tremendously. I only take supplements, no prescription meds, PTL! I take the brand tested & approved by Consumer lab

I have 1st & 2nd hand experience of this.It is a medicine for osteoarthritis of the knee & as everyone knows all medicines must be effective to get UK licences.However I protest that glucosamine knows to solely go to knee joints.My granddad swears by it for arthritis; hips, knees & every other squeaky joint!He stopped for a month to 'test' it & he sure knew about it by week 3.Get the right dose for you & USP grade.He takes 1500mg. I went over on my ankle &it ballooned up,nurse strapped it up &told me get some ibuprofen.I did-took almost 2months to feel OK.I did it again weeks later except this time I got some orange (& cherry) ActivJuice and took 1500mg twice daily for a week;I could see improvement.I dropped to 1500mg dose the 3rd week but it OK by end of that.I've taken it after sprains,strains,a fracture and whiplash-it helps all sorts of tissue damage.I stop taking it when I feel better but granddad notices when he doesn't take it.Read More Read Less

Didn't seem to help

Caused bad diarrea

did nothing

I HAD A SEVERE REACTIVE ARTHRITIS AND SPONDILITIS, CONVENCIONAL TREATMENT MADE IN ME SEVERE REACTION. I USE THE DOSE OF YOU SUGEST FROM NUTRILITE OMEGA AND MULTIVITAMINS AND VIT D3 AND GLUCOSAMINE 7 A I HAVE REMISION TOTAL 24 MONTHS MY DOCTOR REUMATHOLOGY IS EXPECTING THAT I HAVE A SETBACK BECAUSE HE DONT BELEVE AND DONT WANT TO STUDY THIS OPTION

have used this for two years no more swollen ankles

I began using different combinations of Glucosamine (with and without Chondroitin/MSM, shellfish versus shellfish-free) for at least the last 20 years. I first began taking it sporadically due to cartilage breakdown in my knee and had great pain relief in my early 20's. I now have osteoarthritis in my knee and ankle and would never even consider letting myself run out. I would recommend taking 500 mg every 8 hours regularly, at the same times each day, for best effectiveness. I also find I get my best relief from regular Glucosamine (shellfish-free) which is a great savings in money as it is so much cheaper than Chondroitin/MSM added varieties. I can actually feel a huge increase in my pain with only just a 24 hour lack of my Glucosamine. I don't get full relief of course, but would never be able to walk or get in/out of a car without it. As with all medications, please talk to your health care provider before starting any new medication :-)Read More Read Less

I have hip pain. The GS definitely has helped.Stopped taking - hip discomfort slowly returned. HCl version did not help. Chondroitin added appeared to increase blood pressure. Use pure glucosamine sulfate

It has relieved quite a bit, but not all, of the pain I was having with hip and back arthritis

Worked well for me. I recently increased to two tabs a day. After a month I developed Vertigo. I experienced it first thing in the AM. Did the suggested exercises, found relief. After taking it in the AM with breakfast Vertigo reoccurred. After taking it with dinner and later going to bed the Vertigo redeveloped. I have stopped the Gluc. Sulfate and will see what happens with the Vertigo.
