Joint Health

Chondroitin and glucosamine are supplements used to keep the joint space (disc, cartilage,and the end plates) from wearing down. The latest study reveals what I seen in practice:  It works really well in some people and doesn't work well in others.  What determines it's effectiveness is the dosage, quality of the supplement, and the length of time it is taken.  My rule of thumb is try a brand for 3 months.  If you fell less achy and creaky, continue.  If not try another brand, possibly a combination of chondroitin, MSM, and glucosamine.  The nice thing is that these are safe (although glucosamine sulfate MAY cause issues with diabetic patients) and worth trying.
