Glucosamine was just introduced as a new supp to buy at my local gym, it was recommended so many times by members that they decided to purchase it and start selling it. I've been thinking about buying a bottle and trying it out, I have a semi pain in my shoulder joint that bugs me here and there

Most studies showed that when glucosamine was effective, it was in osteo patients with moderate to severe symptoms. Add to that it takes up to 3 months for patients to see the effect. Yes some people notice in as little as 3 weeks, but not all. Keep in mind this was straight glucosamine or the standard 1500mg glucosamine and 1200mg chondriotin combo.

Move Free Advanced and osteo bi-flex also contain an anti-inflammatory ingredient and with that most people will "feel" it in about 7 days.

As noted by others, options such as msm and fish oil work as well. Time to see "feel" an effect varies. Cool thing about fish oil is it also helps with mood, heart health, cognitive function and so on.

Hope this helps in some way.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) works much better for me, about 2000mgs per day. Also rub some DMSO pre workout, can usually get that at TSC, it may cause skin irritation. If you wanna spend some money try Lubrisyn, its pricey but it works!

its a drug made to prevent joint injuries not treat it, honestly, u have to take it for a while to see it work. fish oil is way better for supplementing. but u gotta look for other option for treating joint pain

I noticed mine kicked in after about 3 weeks

Of the three commonly available forms of glucosamine, only glucosamine sulfate is given a "likely effective" rating for treating osteoarthritis. Its a dietary supplement , not a pharmaceutical drug soo its not really a ''sure thing''.
