Glucosamine

pmduk

I want to try glucosamine for my osteoarthritic knee, can anyone recommend any good outlets? There's such a variety of differing offers.

I guess the cheapest probably be supermarket brand

I use a supplement of this and chondroitin for my elderly dog and the company, by customer request now does a human version.


The company is Lintbells and the product did wonders for Joly. He is very elderly for his breed now (cavalier, 14), but three years ago, he could hardly walk after lying down for some time and Yumove made him agile again. (He still has it as it's his treat).

I found glucosamine without chondroitin unhelpful but with chondroitin ok

Check who has them on offer on My Supermarket (the website), wait for boosted points weekends/days and them purchase in bulk (though keep on eye on use by dates). If you're just looking to purchase for the short term (eg tomorrow), Boots normally have 3-4-2 offers on vitamins and etc and Holland and Barratt normally have some sort of a promotion on varying things in their stores.

If going for glucosamine, glucosamine chondroitin is the best form to get. Remember though that not all supplements are the same. Cheaper products contain fillers you don't want to consume and the key ingredients are often synthetic rather than natural.

Try iMove by Lintbells. You can get it online or in H&B.

Can anybody recommend a vegetarian option?

The dog version is heaper on Amazon than direct (They told me it's because they aren't set up for small sales), so it's probably true for the for humans version, too.

Lifeplan are a good make, they probably do glucosamine.

Look into Boron as it can be helpful for osteoarthritis. MSM (methylsulfonamethane) can also be helpful.
