Hey guys,

I tend to get sore joints and have never tried this supplement before. Who here uses it, and in what dose? I want to make sure i'm taking a large enough dose to be effective.

Glucosamine does ease some joint pains by drawing fluid into the joints, keeping them lubricated. But if your going to use it cut the recommended dosage in half to start (just read the label). The reason is because to much and you'll notice your joints might get swollen and stiff. What joints are bothering you? Do they hurt more after workouts. Are they more sore in the morning? Are you on cycle? If so have you had labs done? There are a lot of things that can joint pains. You need to narrow the cause before you remedy.

Thanks for the info man. It's typically my knees that hurt on and off cycle. And i have bulging discs in my cervical region. When i'm on cycle the cervical facet joints become irritated and cause nasty muscle spasms and pain in my trap.
