It's OK to get 500 mg and take it three times a day after meals.

1500 mg a day glucosamine is recommended, and it is thought to be most

effective if taken with chondroitin.

If you are in the UK then www.zipvit.co.uk is the cheapest source I

have found.

My information is that the Chondroitin molecules are too large to pass

through the intestinal wall, and that it is the Glucosamine that does the job.

Apparently the Chondroitin just gets excreted, and it is a waste of money to buy

Glucosamine with Chondroitin.

MSM is what you need with the Glucosamine.

I'm sure this will stimulate a storm of responses, so let's hear from our

pharmacists.

The ingredients are Glucosamine 500mg., and Chondroitin 400mg. and it comes

in capsules that easy to swallow.

I use a product that contains a COX-II inhibitor that comes in the

natural form of turmeric. Glucosamine and turmeric are ingredients

that work together to provide support for your joints that can't be

found in any other joint formula products. It's worked well for me.
