Glucosamine Chondroitin Extra Strength

[nutro]

Glucosamine Chondroitin Extra Strength is 50% more potent than typical combination products. This means you can obtain a clinically substantiated dosage of these popular joint support nutrients in just two tablets instead of three. Glucosamine Chondroitin Extra Strength provides important building blocks for healthy joints and connective tissues. Glucosamine, an amino sugar, is an essential structural component of glycosaminoglycans, large molecules that help lubricate joints, nourish cartilage and connective tissue, and assist in wound healing. Manganese is involved in the synthesis of collagen, and chondroitin sulfate lends additional structural support via its high degree of interaction with collagen fibers. Molybdenum aids in the complete metabolism of glucosamine and chondroitin.

wow imagine where instaed of taking 3 tablets you take 2 bigger tablets I can never keep up with technology advances.

Doesn't matter if it is 50% more potent. Glucosamine works for some people and doesn't work for others. I, luckily, benefited from taking glucosamine. BTW, I have noticed a lot of advertisements on threads. What's going on? Cursor, you should revoke that guy's account.

Sorry, forgot. Ironman, you should revoke that guy's account.

Or just go to your local pharmacy, ask the pharmacist and buy the cheap glucosamine from them. Glucosamine has been shown to work for many people (but not all). Chondroitin (sp?), according to recent research (as described to me by my pharmacist...I didn't read it myself) is pretty much useless.

I'm using the one with both - why? 25.00 for a 2 month supply. Interestingly enough, I'm lucky. It works as well as celebrex for my knees.

So ignore the spammers, don't go to their web site. Go to the pharmacy or health food store...although many of the workers there are just like the spammers...wanting to sell you a bunch of junk you don't need.

OK, I didn't read it myself - just took my pharmacist's word for it when she told me about it.

Isn't that what Barry Bonds said. I don't know what it was I just took what he gave me. LOL

I do believe you are right on that one. She must not like me as well as his trainer liked him. No "magical growth" suppliments from her. Dammit.

One additional thing about glucosamine in case anyone wondered about it.

I was concerned about how it is metabolized, I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and this morning was dumb enough to hurt my back lifting a little 105lb woman - with help. Just tightness in the muscle that goes over the SI joint - it'll be fine in a day or two. Anyway, I asked my Dr. about using acetomenophin or ibuprofen along with it. Considering I'm eating between 300 and 400g of protien a day - keeping a watch on things that might impair renal function is a good idea. She said it would be just fine to take either of those along with glucosamine and will do no harm.

The only thing I'd watch out for is the ibuprofen masking the pain and causing you to hurt yourself again.:

Naaah, it just masks the pain enough to allow me to make it out to the gym but leaves enough there to remind me to use excellent form. The lifting with good form actually helps straighten things out. Too bad today wasn't back day. Heavy deadlifts are the best thing to "fix" SI pain for me. The spinal erectors flex and cause whatever is "out" to "pop" and it usually leaves me pain free. Sometimes it takes me out for a week, but most often it helps.

Glucosamine posible interactions: certain anticancer drugs
blood thinners
blood sugar control
Metabolism Glucosamine sulfate is rapidly desulfated following oral or parenteral administration. It is metabolized (predominantly in the liver) to smaller molecules and ultimately to carbon dioxide, water, and urea

Ibuprofen: 90 to 99% bound to plasma proteins and has a plasma half-life of about 2 hours. It is rapidly excreted in the urine mainly as metabolites and their conjugates. About 1% is excreted in urine as unchanged ibuprofen and about 14% as conjugated ibuprofen.

Paracetamol is metabolised predominantly in the liver and excreted in the urine mainly as the glucuronide and sulfate conjugates. Less than 5% is excreted as unchanged paracetamol. A minor hydroxylated metabolite (N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine), is usually produced in very small amounts by cytochrome P450 isoenzymes (mainly CYP2E1 and CYP3A4) in the liver and kidney. It is usually detoxified by conjugation with glutathione but may accumulate following paracetamol overdosage and cause tissue damage.

Indeed no interactions
