Re: Glucosamine, Glucosamine suphate, constipation

[Guest guest]

Hi

I find that any supplements with sulphate in them (glucosamine,

ferrous, quinine, MSM, etc.) cause me serious constipation. So I take

glucosamine hydrochloride, which can be hard to find. I do find a

Wampoles bottle occasionally. son used to make it in the

Arthrimin line, but I haven't seen that lately. It's said to better

absorbed than the sulphate version as well, but I don't know if that's

true or not. I think that most manufacturers make the sulphate

combination because it's cheaper and maybe easier. Anyway, I'd say

that the glucosamine does help me, painwise. Not so sure it helps me

with range of motion. One doctor thought that it acts an

anti-inflammatory, and told me to stop taking it two weeks before the

operation. I've been taking it since about two weeks post-op (for

insurance on my other hip), though.

shops is bewildering. I have been looking for 1500 mg of glucosamine

but am having trouble finding it.
