Glucosamine for injuries

Post by Amit12 »

I`m suffering from this knee injury.
My Physio thinks its a lig or a cartilage injury.

A lot of people recommend taking Glucosamine supplements.
Those who have taken them-what are your experiences?

I was thinking of taking this Glucosamine spp.
It contains:
*Glucosamine sulphate:500 mg
*Chondroitin Sulphate:400 mg.

*How many should I take/day?
*Optimum time?
*How many months will I have to take it until I see the effects?

I've been taking glucosamine for quite a while now.As for the effects,who knows.I don't think it's a wonder drug but maybe my joints would be in worse condition if i hadn't started taking it.

Here's some info:-
