glucosamine worth buying?

[pb75]

Squats getting heavy so of course a lot of pressure on my knees..just wondering whether glucosamine would be beneficial to build up the joints?
Or is it in whole foods , albeit without having to eat loads and loads?

I use glucosamine hcl & chondroitin sulphate tablets from MP.

I started taking them as my knees and hips creaked and cracked when squatting. I can't remember how long they took to work, it was not long.

I ran out of tablets and thought I would see how I went without them and it was not long before the cracking and creaking returned.

Since then I have been taking 2 tabs daily.

I also had a rotor cuff injury that is ok now, however, can't say if the tabs helped with that or it just got better.

If your lacking in the mineral you could load up on it by taking 6g a day spread out or was it 6g three times a day... Either way if you don't notice any results within 3 months its not the mineral your lacking. Good sources crustaceans such as shrimp, lobster, crab and crawfish can provide trace amounts of glucosamine in their shells and tails all forms of healthy cartilage, according to the NIH. A butchered animal's ears, snout and joint tissues contain glucosamine.
